To All Members of the Carleton Community,
We are writing today to invite you to the formal launch of Carleton University’s new Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Action Plan on March 23 at 11:00 a.m.
The launch of this forward-looking and ambitious document represents an important milestone for Carleton. It reflects the priorities in Carleton’s Strategic Integrated Plan and recognizes the critical ways in which greater integration of EDI into our work and mission will be essential to the continued success of the university.
The comprehensive action plan outlines ways to reimagine curricular and pedagogical practices, and makes recommendations about how to further enhance student supports, research infrastructure, leadership development for academic and non-academic staff, organizational culture and more.
We are pleased that this event will feature several esteemed speakers, including:
- Chancellor Yaprak Baltacioğlu
- Rebecca Andre, fourth-year Applied Linguistics and Discourse Studies student with a minor in Disability Studies
- Muthoni Kariuki, MPNL/16, CFRE, Member of The Black Canadian Fundraisers’ Collective
The EDI Action Plan was developed through a collaborative process that included many members of our community. We wish to express our thanks to everyone for your important contributions, and for your continued engagement as we implement the recommendations.
Carleton’s renewed commitment to leadership in the areas of anti-racism and EDI is critical, and we look forward to officially launching this important plan with you on March 23. Please register online to reserve your spot at this virtual event.
Sincerely,
Benoit-Antoine Bacon
President and Vice-Chancellor
