The MCR LTER Community Philosophy

The fundamental DNA of the MCR LTER program is to foster a welcoming, supportive and inclusive community that embraces the diversity of our society so that diverse perspectives, backgrounds and experiences power excellence in our core research and training missions.  The MCR LTER Code of Conduct is intended to help promote an inclusive and nurturing culture by prohibiting all forms of harassment, intimidation, intolerance and disrespect for any reason.
