Through a consultative and collaborative process, members of the EDI Taskforce will utilize an intersectional equity lens to establish and implement a College framework and recommendations for equity, diversity, and inclusion to address the needs of the tri-campus SLC community, internal and external.
SLC is an Employer Partner with the Canadian Centre for Diversity and Inclusion (CCDI) and through this partnership, our employees and student leaders have access to a multitude of EDI resources and training.
Find information about upcoming events related to Belonging + EDI, including Task Force events, HR/OD professional development, and CCDI webinars. This is where you will find SLC's Faith, Culture, and Social Justice Calendar, which highlights multifaith observances, cultural holidays, and social justice days of significance to our SLC community.
