Our goal is to make WHOI more inclusive, diverse, transparent, and just.

We aid the Institution in its efforts to recruit, retain & mentor a diverse community of employees, students & postdoctoral researchers & foster a culture of inclusion. Diversity is defined here as any race, ethnicity, religion, creed, gender, age, national origin, citizenship status, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability, socio-economic status, or veteran status, which is a minority at WHOI. The CDEI works closely with the CDEIO.
