Through the Waitt
Institute for Discovery's Program
for Anthropological and Archaeological Studies,
we believe that if we can understand the nature of human
diversity, it will become far easier for us to embrace
what we all share in common and work to promote a better
future.

The newly launched Program for Ocean Exploration and
Conservation is committed to enabling interdisciplinary
research deep beneath the planet's last frontier of discovery.
The Institute believes that our future, like our past, is
tied in part to that of the sea.

Working closely with the Waitt
Institute for Violence Prevention, we are committed to changing social norms that accept violence as a part of life. We do this in our hometown, our nation, and our world.
