Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

In signing the Dimensions Charter in July 2019, Durham College committed to implementing charter principles throughout college practices and culture to achieve greater equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI).

“Dimensions recognizes that a multiplicity of perspectives, lived experiences and the overall complexity of diverse individuals foster increased research excellence, innovation and creativity within the post-secondary sector. This program takes a multidimensional approach to equity, diversity and inclusion to achieve a future research community where all can thrive.

The activities supported by the Social Impact Hub will strive to uphold the principles of the Dimensions Charter. Employees in the Office of Research Services, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, the Research Coordinators and project team members will collaborate with the Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, the First Peoples Indigenous Centre, the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Working Group and the Internationalization and Global Engagement Committee to gain knowledge and capacity in new areas and put these principles into action.
