On May 9th and 10th, 2024, the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University will be hosting the 2024 Inter-Institutional Forum of the Scarborough Charter on Anti-Black Racism and Black Inclusion in Canadian Higher Education. 

To build capacity on and awareness around developing Black talent in the workplace, Co-operative and Experiential Education (CEE) will be hosting its second Black History Month (BHM) panel discussion. The panel discussion aims to showcase CEE as a leader in thought leadership around culture change in EDI-R in the talent space.   

Racial trauma isn’t always visible. Its impact is.

What happens when an experience lingers not just in memory, but in your body? When everyday moments shift how safe you feel in a space?

The Healing from Racial Trauma workshop is designed by Jennisha Wilson and Mifrah Abid, from the Office of EDI-R, to support that process. Open to racialized students, staff, and faculty, this session offers a supportive space to better understand how racial stress manifests and to learn practical strategies for grounding, self-awareness, and care. No personal sharing is required.
