A diverse and inclusive campus
We are reIMAGINING our campus with a commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI), and anti-racism and anti-oppression strategies are the foundation of that journey. Through outreach and ongoing consultations with students, staff, associations and clubs, we are bridging gaps that might otherwise never receive the attention they need.
Help us transform the university's rich cultural diversity into an experience of 鈥渋nclusive excellence鈥 for all students, researchers, and faculty.
鈥淭he work of anti-racism is to enable people to critically situate themselves in time and space and at the same time, question the adequacy of that location, to fully humanize themselves and others...鈥
