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).

Sexual Violence on Campus: A Primer
Sexual Violence on Campus: A Primer is a virtual workshop that explores the campus sexual violence landscape in Canada. We confront the issue by examining: the history of universities and the academy in Canada, including its exclusion of women and other marginal groups; the expansion of universities in the 1960s and the rise of the neoliberal state in the 1970s; the legal and policy frameworks that currently govern the issue in and across Canada; and the lived experiences and prevalence of sexual violence in campus settings. We will also be sharing information about the Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Office (SVPRO). The workshop will be facilitated by Ravita Surajbali, Evaluation Specialist with SVPRO.
