The Geography Department is committed to enhancing diversity and inclusivity through our research, teaching, mentoring, and broader interactions with the Dartmouth community and beyond. We consciously strive to create a culture in which every individual—regardless of gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, ability, nationality, political beliefs, religious views, or position within the institution—is valued and respected. Dartmouth's intertwined missions of teaching and research hinge crucially on embracing diversity and inclusivity not only in words but in thoughts and actions. We expect the behavior of our students and ourselves to reflect this principle. For additional information and resources regarding Dartmouth's commitment to fostering an inclusive global community, see the Office of Pluralism and Leadership's website.
