About me
The Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health is a global community committed to building a world with health, dignity, and justice for every human being.
This mission unites us. But we also recognize that members of our community come from different backgrounds, hold different viewpoints, and have differing degrees of power and responsibility. Each of us may define the path forward differently, filtering it through the distinctive prisms of our identities and our lived experiences.
Building a safe and inclusive community that respects and harnesses our many differences requires developing guidelines for our institutional culture: the Principles of Citizenship.
These principles are not abstract values. They are foundational expectations for how we interact with one another and with everyone we encounter as representatives of Harvard Chan School. The principles reflect our shared commitment to building a pluralistic community—and world—where everyone can thrive.
