Encourage and nurture inclusivity and a diversity of perspectives and identities to strengthen our communities
- Support initiatives that foster a sense of belonging within and through academic spaces
- Support initiatives such as “Coffee with a Prof” or other events where students get to know faculty members less formally
- Address the challenge of ‘belonging’ in classes or programs that have large enrolments
- Create incentives for units and Faculties to offer first-year seminars (FYSMs) or other types of small-enrollment courses that promote greater engagement and sense of belonging; encourage students to consider the benefits of such classes and actively encourage them to register in at least one such course when possible
- Promote the development of interdisciplinary FYSM (e.g., politics and science of climate change, etc.)
