A message from the Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at HudsonAlpha

Today, January 18, 2021, HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology  joins the nation in celebrating Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

As this commemorative day is recognized as a day of service and unity, it is an appropriate time to reflect on the spirit of collaboration and its influence in shaping Dr. King’s global vision and call for the establishment of a Beloved Community, a society based on fairness, equity, and inter-cultural engagement. 

As teamwork is embedded in our DNA at HudsonAlpha, the spirit of collaboration encourages our efforts to continue to grow and excel as a team and work towards exercising a shared vision.  

As we reflect on the strides made by countless participants of the Civil Rights Movement and their efforts to promote social justice and peace, let us take this moment to reflect on our mission and the importance of collaboration in driving collective engagement and innovation at HudsonAlpha, in Huntsville (Madison County), and throughout the state of Alabama.
