Fostering a Community through Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Accessibility
Schulich Momentum Pillar
At the Schulich School of Engineering, we strive to create an inclusive and equitable environment where all students, post-doctoral scholars, faculty and staff can thrive. We are dedicated to increasing the number of people from equity-deserving groups in engineering such as, but not limited to, women, Indigenous Peoples, persons with disabilities, members of visible minorities and racialized groups, and members of the LGBTQ2S+ community.
Schulich strives to become a national role model in equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility (EDIA) by:
Building a culture of inclusive practices for the benefit of all. We are committed to creating teaching and research practices and spaces that ensure greater participation of all.
Leading change for equitable practices through ensuring access to supports and resources as well as tracking and monitoring data related to our school’s demographics. Schulich will enhance recruitment, retention and training practices while taking into consideration systemic barriers as well as historical and contemporary injustices.
Elevating and engaging with our diverse and intersectional community by fostering connections within our local, national and international community to showcase the diversity and excellence within Schulich. We will continue to inspire the next generation of diverse engineering changemakers through engaging outreach activities.
Advocating for and championing equity-deserving groups by building education and career pathways for all students, post-doctoral scholars, faculty and staff. We will create opportunities for all engineering professionals to expand their skills and take their careers in new directions of their choosing. We will recognize and celebrate all the EDIA contributions of individuals and teams.
