The Physics and Astronomy department is committed to creating a community in which every individual--regardless of gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, disability, nationality, political or religious views, or position within the institution--is respected and knows that they are a valued member of our community. A diverse and inclusive intellectual community is also critical to an exceptional education, scholarly innovation, and human creativity. As members of the Dartmouth community, we are committed to actions and investments that foster welcoming environments where everyone is empowered to achieve their greatest potential for learning, teaching, researching, and creating. Details of current action plans can be found in the Arts and Sciences Diversity and Inclusion Reports and Plans and the institution-wide strategic plan Toward Equity: Aligning Action and Accountability.
