Engineering EDI (Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion) is a new initiative on campus, catering to faculty, staff, and students within the Faculty of Engineering; our goals are in alignment with those of the University of Waterloo’s Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Anti-Racism. We strive to amplify events which support and bolster equity and inclusivity on campus, as well as host our own events to help students with similar experiences connect with one another. We also provide support to student groups and chapters such as AISES (American Indian Science and Engineering Society), EngiQueers, NSBE (National Society of Black Engineers), and WiE (Women in Engineering).

NeuroMinds Collective - STUDENTS
NeuroMinds Collective is a safe haven for students where your neurodiversity is celebrated, understood, and supported. We're a community of students who share diverse cognitive profiles, including ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, and more. At NeuroMinds, we celebrate, understand, and support differently wired brains. Whether you self-identify as neurodivergent or are questioning and exploring if you might be, you're welcome here! Join facilitators Rania (she/they) and Chris (he/him) and become part of a supportive community where you are encouraged to show up exactly as you are, share your challenges and achievements, learn more about your neurotype and connect with others who truly get it. The aim is to build a tight-knit network where you can freely express your thoughts, concerns, and achievements in a judgment-free zone. These sessions are open to any and all self-identified neurodivergent UW students – no diagnosis necessary.
