The Office of Diversity and Inclusion was thrilled to launch Weill Cornell Medicine’s first-ever Diversity Week. Diversity is an institutional priority at Weill Cornell Medicine that informs all aspects of our mission to care, discover, and teach. Diversity Week celebrates the many different initiatives and individuals that are moving us closer to greater equity in patient care, biomedical discovery, and medical and graduate education each day.
We were delighted to welcome Dr. Hannah Valantine, the Chief Officer for Scientific Workforce Diversity at the National Institutes of Health, who delivered the keynote address on April 23. Diversity Week featured a series of departmental grand rounds, an awards ceremony and reception to honor excellence in diversity, the annual Women in Global Health Research Initiative Scientific Conference, our annual Family Day for medical students, and many other seminars and activities.
