EDI Initiatives and Activities

EDI Initiatives, Activities, and Events

Our goal in this section is to present some of the EDI work happening throughout UBC Sauder. The list is not exhaustive, and does not fully capture the work that so often happens within the learning in our classrooms, in social settings and informal conversations, and through sharing feedback and respectfully challenging each other to live by UBC Sauder’s values in EDI. In this section, we have compiled a summary of many of the EDI-related initiatives, activities, and events that have taken place at UBC Sauder over the past year (April 1st, 2021 to March 31st, 2022). In sharing what has been done, we are working to continue to grow as a school and to advance equity, diversity, and inclusion at UBC Sauder, which we can benchmark against our first inaugural report from last year. We acknowledge this list does not fully encompass the work that needs to be done (work that is ongoing), and that our work in EDI must extend beyond initiatives, activities, and events and into our policies, systems, procedures, and institutional foundation for continued systemic change in EDI. We invite and welcome ideas, feedback, suggestions, and input on initiatives, activities, and ideas that will strengthen and improve EDI at UBC Sauder. We have organized our UBC initiatives and activities by using our principles and goals as an organizing framework. We note that some actions might reflect multiple goals, but we have endeavoured to not be repetitive in our reporting.
