Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Accessibility at Schulich
At the Schulich School of Engineering, diversity is an integral part of our culture and our faculty’s history. In engineering, diversity is essential for innovation. We strive to create an inclusive and equitable environment where students, faculty and staff of all backgrounds can collaboratively learn, create and serve.

Schulich Changemakers
Schulich Changemakers is a network where students from all backgrounds can share their experiences, meet likeminded students, learn about EDIA in engineering, participate in engineering outreach and develop valuable leadership skills, while being catalysts for a community of inclusion and support on campus.
The Schulich School of Engineering is committed to championing diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility in engineering by removing barriers, expanding access, fostering a welcoming culture and working with our community. We believe an engineering community that is open to all and rich in diversity will be well equipped to find solutions to better our planet. It is our goal to increase the number of underrepresented groups in engineering, including women, racialized minorities, Indigenous peoples, LGBTQ2S+ and persons with disabilities.
Equity
Equity as a principle, condition, process, and outcome is rooted in human rights and the inviolability of human dignity.
Diversity
Diversity, difference, or variety is a characteristic of nature, human society, and the academic world.
Inclusion
Inclusion encompasses norms, practices, and actions that promote participation, engagement, empowerment, and a sense of belonging for equity-deserving groups.
Welcoming the Indigenous community at Schulich
Recognizing the underrepresentation of Indigenous people in our faculty, staff and student bodies, we are committed to reconciliation and inclusion in engineering.
Taking action against anti-Black racism
Universities have a major role to play in responding to anti-Black racism, systemic racism and racial violence. We do this through education, teaching and learning, an inclusive curriculum and more.
