Community Conversations: Transforming Awareness into Action
The Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging (EDIB) is excited to continue our Community Conversations series, offering an open and inclusive space to connect, share, and foster a stronger campus community. These conversations provide the opportunity to discuss meaningful topics and explore how we can collectively make Humber Polytechnic more inclusive for all.
Through facilitated discussions, we will engage in thoughtful conversations that reflect our shared values of respect, collaboration, and community. Whether you are a student, staff, or faculty member, your voice is important in shaping the future of EDIB at Humber. Together, we can learn, grow, and build connections!
Our next Community Conversation, “Transforming Awareness into Action: Bringing Trans Allyship to Life in the Workplace,” focuses on moving from understanding to action in supporting our trans community members.
