Community & Culture at YSPH

At the Yale School of Public Health, we are committed to sustaining a thriving community that welcomes and supports people who come from all walks of life and who hold a diverse range of perspectives and beliefs in the pursuit of knowledge, innovation, and excellence. This commitment stems from YSPH’s mission to educate and equip the best public health scientists, practitioners, and leaders to develop systems-level solutions for a healthier society.

Our mission is best achieved in a vibrant community of students, faculty, and staff, who encounter and appraise different ideas and views, are treated with dignity and respect, and feel welcome to make their voices heard.

To foster such a community, we:

• uphold free expression and open inquiry;
• recruit and support students, faculty, and staff with a wide range of experiences and expertise;
• promote programs and initiatives that offer multiple viewpoints and build connections within our school, throughout the university, and across local, national and global communities;
• and combat coercion, intimidation, and discrimination and harassment based on sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, race, color, national or ethnic origin, religion, age, disability, and status as a covered veteran.
