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. Read our charter here.
