Diversity, equity, and inclusion are a top priority at Sitka Sound Science Center.

Sitka Sound Science Center is committed to fostering, cultivating, and preserving a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Diversity includes all the ways in which people differ, encompassing characteristics that make one individual or group different from another. This definition also includes diversity of thought, ideas, perspectives, and values. Equity is the fair treatment, access, opportunity, and advancement for all people, while at the same time striving to identify and eliminate barriers that have prevented the full participation of some groups. Inclusion is the act of creating environments in which any individual or group can be and feel welcomed, respected, supported, and valued to fully participate.

The collective sum of the individual differences, life experiences, knowledge, inventiveness, innovation, self-expression, unique capabilities and talent that our employees invest in their work represents a significant part of not only our culture, but our reputation and achievement as well.
