Events March 18 and 19 as part of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Decolonization (EDID) Week will foreground student perspectives on inclusivity and mental health.

At 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, “Pathways to Inclusion” aims to foster a more inclusive and accessible campus environment. It promises practical advice to help students navigate and thrive in the university setting, strategies for educators to support and accommodate students with diverse needs, and insights from individuals with specific accessibility needs, sharing their experiences and what they wish others understood.

Facilitated by the Disability Studies Students Association, this half-hour online workshop will discuss enhance accessibility and create a sense of belonging for all students.

On Wednesday, Student Health, Counselling & Wellness Services will host a one-hour drop-in consultation session to gather information that will help inform the development of Student Mental Health Strategy 2.0. Participants will consider 10 questions displayed around the room, posting written responses on the walls for other participants to read or in closed boxes to share privately with the project team.

The “Words on Walls” consultation session will run 9 to 10 a.m. in the Freed-Orman Centre, Assumption Hall. No registration is required; all responses will be analyzed anonymously as group data. Find more information on the event website.
