Laurier supports diversity and inclusivity

April 24, 2019

Wilfrid Laurier University would like to emphasize its firm support for diversity and inclusivity following an incident on our Waterloo campus that was videotaped and shared widely on social media. No one involved in this incident appears to be a current Laurier student or employee. However, the university has reached out to the group of young women who were directly impacted to offer support.

This incident is incongruent with the values of equity, diversity and inclusion that we strive to foster at Laurier. For anyone within the Laurier community, especially our students, who would benefit from support related to this matter, please consider accessing the following:

Drop-in Support Space: Friday, April 26, 12:00 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. (Room 100, MacDonald House Residence, Centre for Student Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, Waterloo). Facilitated by Selda Sezen, Muslim Chaplaincy of Wilfrid Laurier University.

Supports for Students on the Waterloo Campus and Kitchener Location
