Upcoming UVic events
In support 5 Days of Action: 365 Days of Commitment, the Scarborough Charter Steering Committee is building on our information session last year.
We’ll explore National and UVic data from Black communities and the experiences of Black students, faculty, and staff. We’ll discuss new initiatives and current goals; and tangible actions we can take individually and collectively. The workshop will also feature key research insights on Black identity and community, fostering a deeper understanding of racial dynamics and appreciation for the non-monolithic nature of Black communities.
- Wednesday, October 29
- 10:00 – 11:20 a.m.
- Cornett B108
Recurring Black Staff Lunch & Lounge
We know there aren’t many chances for Black staff to connect so join us for an informal lunchtime gathering at the new lounge space in Clearihue C117 on the third Thursday of every month! We’ll have some casual conversation starters and light refreshments - drinks and snacks to share. It’s BYOL (bring your own lunch). On each event page, hit the “add to my calendar” button to mark the event.
