Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month

The Woods Hole Diversity Advisory Committee and the Falmouth Community invite you to join us in celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month this fall between September 15 and October 15. We are hosting a series of events to share and acknowledge the rich cultural and social traditions of the Hispanic/Latinx community. We recognize the achievements and contributions of the Hispanic community both in science and to the global world.

Every year, members of the Woods Hole Community come together to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month to build a stronger community through diversity. Our Committee serves the six scientific research institutions in the village of Woods Hole, Massachusetts on Cape Cod. We have since the 1870’s been a hub and center for scientific discovery in the marine sciences, oceanography, fisheries sciences, medical research, and many more areas of STEM. The purpose of our Committee is to work towards an inclusive and welcoming place for all and hosting events, lectures, and talks each year around diversity and inclusion is at the heart of our governance.
