Welcome to Physics & Astronomy at Wellesley!

We seek to make the Physics & Astronomy Department a welcoming community for all students, faculty, and staff, and pledge to hold all those who chose to affiliate with our department accountable to our values, outlined below. 

• We enthusiastically welcome everyone to our community. 

• We approach physics and astronomy with a positive mindset. 

• We value learning, persistence, integrity, caring, and kindness.

• We affirm, honor and celebrate diversity in all its forms. 

• We commit ourselves to each other’s success and support all career choices. 

• We use our privileges to benefit our community. 

• We give each other the benefit of the doubt. 

• We educate ourselves about, and stand in solidarity against, any behaviors that aim to exclude, discriminate or silence members of our community. 

If you would like to offer us feedback about how we are doing, please feel free to do so with this anonymous feedback form (open only to the Wellesley College community)
