Diversity Mission Statement

We, the members of the Genetics Department at Harvard Medical School, are committed to expanding and fully supporting diversity in our community. We do not tolerate racism or discrimination of any kind. Everyone is welcome in our department, people of any race, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, or nationality. Our goal is for every member to feel included, safe to be themselves, and capable of fulfilling their potential. Not only does a lack of diversity impoverish the culture of our community – it also narrows our perspective on the scientific needs of society as a whole.
