Diversity & Inclusion

At the Department of Environmental Health, we believe diversity is integral to the Harvard experience and the positive impact we can have on the world. Our community is enriched by a diversity of cultural backgrounds, identities, lived experiences, and perspectives enabling us to best meet the pressing environmental health needs and injustices facing society today. We pursue ongoing engagement with diversity-related topics to allow for personal development and organizational growth. Our goal is to ensure we are fostering and sustaining a culture of inclusion where students, employees and the broader Harvard community of all identities can feel safe and thrive. Central to this is our commitment to ensuring equitable access to opportunities for learning, living, and working at the Department of Environmental Health and Harvard T.H. Chan. 

We express our unwavering dedication to diversity, inclusion, and belonging as core to our institutional values and actively denounce all forms of discrimination.
