Date: Thursday, November 10, 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

The University of Guelph-Humber is excited to welcome our partners from EY, Rakuten Kobo, and RSM Canada to discuss their organization’s EDI framework and how this supports recruitment, employee well-being, and company culture.

This session will support equity deserving groups by having a presentation and open dialogue with each organization focused on opportunities and programming for students and young professionals who identify as black, indigenous, people of colour (BIPOC), as well as members of the LGBTQ+ community, neurodiverse populations, and people who have visible/non-visible disabilities.

The goal of this EDI panel session is to facilitate an environment where students feel seen and supported through opportunities, as well as provide a space for all students to have a dialogue in a safe and inclusive space.

This is a virtual event on MS Teams.
