Equity, Diversity, Inclusion (EDI) Week 2018

Join us the Week of March 17-23, 2018 by coming out to the events to learn more about what can be done to inspire and enable people to put an end to social injustice. EDI Week is run in parallel to Pride Week at the University of Alberta. EDI is not simply and event that takes place over a week; rather, it is a movement to eradicate injustice, promote harmony and unity within the campus community, province, country and world—starting with each of us as individuals.
