Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI

Building a better world, together

There’s a reason why we’re consistently recognized for being a community that truly cares. At the foundation of everything we do is our commitment to building a brighter tomorrow — for our students, our city and our world. Here’s how we’re building a better world.

Equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI)

Bringing together different perspectives and experiences unlocks creativity that leads to positive outcomes for all. Achieving this means committing to enhancing student supports and re-imagining curricular and pedagogical practices, research infrastructure, and leadership development for organizational, academic and nonacademic staff.

Supporting Indigenous students

First Nations, Métis and Inuit students have access to a wide range of tailored supports and services across campus. Carleton’s Centre for Indigenous Support and Community Engagement provides safe spaces for dialogue and learning through a variety of cultural activities and events, inclusive spaces and student supports. They also deliver resources and training to educate the Carleton community about the experiences, histories and worldviews of Indigenous peoples. carleton.ca/indigenous

We’re committed to reinvigorating efforts to support Indigenous learners and bring Indigenous knowledge into classrooms. The launch of Kinàmàgawin: Learning Together — a long-term Indigenous strategy with 41 Calls to Action — signifies an important milestone in shaping a more welcoming space for Indigenous students and faculty members within the Carleton community.

Finding green solutions

The Ojigkwanong Indigenous Student Centre is a place where First Nations, Métis and Inuit students can study, socialize and participate in academic and cultural programming. It features a medicine lodge, kitchenette, lounge, study space and computer lab.
