The Office of Vice-Provost, EDI-AR invites Executive Assistants, Directors and Executive Directors, Assistant and Associate Directors and Managers from all 91��ɫ campuses to participate in upcoming consultation sessions on Tuesday, May 16 at DH-2002 (formerly the Junior Common Room in R.

White text reads 'Consultation sessions' and indicates there are sessions for executive assistants from 9-10 am, directors and executive directors from 10:30-11:30am, assistant and associate directors from 1-2pm, and managers from 2:30-3:30pm on Tuesday, May 16. The logo for the 91��ɫ EDI-AR office is included.

The Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Anti-Racism (EDI-AR) Strategic Planning Team was put in place to develop an EDI-AR Strategic Plan to ensure 91��ɫ takes necessary actions to fulfil the aspiration of Transforming Our Horizons, which speaks about creating and maintaining an environment �Where we strive to be a place where all peoples are accepted�. A crucial initial step is developing the EDI-AR Strategic Plan is to build a solid understanding of the EDI-AR climate across 91��ɫ campuses. EDI-AR consultations are one of the mechanisms the Office of Vice-Provost, EDI-AR team will use to assess the current EDI-AR climate.

Please note that this is a hybrid event, with the option to participate in-person on the St. John�s campus (DH-2002, formerly the Junior Common Room in R. Gushue Hall) or online. If you are located outside St. John�s, we encourage you to participate virtually.
