Equity & Community Inclusion
At the Faculty of Engineering and Architectural Science (FEAS), we are working towards two important, mission-advancing goals: We want our students, staff and faculty to be able to reflect on different life experiences and to understand the role they can play in representing equity, diversity and inclusion values. To ensure that these goals are achieved, we created the Equity and Community Inclusion (ECI) Office.
Our ECI team is dedicated to fostering a culture both inside and outside the classroom that is truly inclusive of all identities, including race, gender, sexual orientation and disability. Workshops, networking events and mentorship opportunities are offered via this office, as well as access to local and international conferences, and facetime with industry professionals and employers.
The Path to Reconciliation
Toronto Metropolitan University supports the calls to action as delivered by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in the 2015 report on the history and legacy of Canada’s residential school system for Indigenous children. In response, Toronto Metropolitan University conducted a series of community consultations and released our own version of the report, Truth and Reconciliation at Toronto Metropolitan University: Building a Foundation for Generations to Come, outlining key areas of focus. Toronto Metropolitan University is committed to continuing its work towards the implementation of these calls to action, including building on existing outreach and recruitment efforts within Indigenous communities, and the development of an Indigenized curriculum. Visit the Office of the Vice President of Equity and Community Inclusion website to learn more.
Contact the FEAS Manager of Equity and Community Inclusion if you have any questions.
FEAS’s Women in Engineering (WIE) community is dedicated to providing education and outreach for young women who are considering a rewarding career in engineering, and to promoting a supportive and inclusive environment in which women can pursue their engineering studies and careers barrier-free.
