The mission of the Harvard Chan Women of Color Collective is to unite Harvard Chan women of color and all allies through social support, networking, advocacy, mentorship and leadership building with an overarching emphasis on health, wellness and empowerment. WOCC aims to create an inclusive community space in which members can explore issues and solutions pertaining to women of color through an intersectional lens. It is our hope to foster pan-Harvard collaborations to strengthen interdisciplinary dialogue and leadership opportunities in order to propel our mission beyond the walls of the institution
The objectives of the Harvard Chan Women of Color Collective are:
- To create a community focused on issues and/or solutions that affect and are affected by women of color
- To provide opportunities for members to learn, explore, appreciate and support women of color every day
- To foster pan-Harvard collaborations with other graduate schools and the college.
- To disseminate information about events, symposia, lectures, and conferences about issues of interest to women of color
- To spotlight overshadowed health disparities in the United States.
- To provide periodic community service opportunities at Harvard Chan and the greater Boston area.
