The Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (OEDI) at DC promotes and cultivates an enduring sense of belonging for all members of the DC community through on-going education, advocacy and support. This session will provide you with opportunities to engage with the Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion staff through discussions and Q +A about the ways that we can show up and start strong at Durham College in September. We will look at the ways that we, together, can champion a culture of equity, inclusion and belonging at DC through how we operate within our individual sphere of influence- our day-to-day interactions with peers, faculty and staff and our community. We will also provide participants with a deeper understanding about the resources and supports available through the OEDI to address the various ways in which inequities can manifest in our daily lives.
