Save the Date for the MCB Community Forum on November 15 – Submit Questions by October 25

An MCB Community Forum, led by MCB Chair Rachelle Gaudet, will take place on November 15 at 4:00 PM in BioLabs’ Lecture Hall, 1080. 

The Community Task Force (CTF) on Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging is hosting the Community Forum to discuss issues currently faced by the department and to address questions from community members. 

Questions or topics to discuss can be submitted anonymously via email (mcb_diversity@fas.harvard.edu) or via this form. Assistant Director of Human Resources and Lead CTF Administrator Julia Fannon will hold office hours with treats in the BioLounge on October 22 (3-5 pm), October 23 (10 am- noon), and October 25 (2-4 pm), and community members can bring questions to her. Submitting topics to be discussed in advance will ensure that there is time to contact people who can address the topic and prepare a response. All questions, comments, and suggestions for the Community Forum should be submitted by the end of the day on October 25.

Friday, October 25 is also the deadline to nominate community members for the Doty-Losick Prize for Exceptional Service, which celebrates people who go above and beyond their job descriptions to contribute to MCB. To nominate someone, please fill out the form here. The prize recipient or recipients will be announced at the Community Forum.
