Are you interested in learning more about social justice and equity issues on campus? Are you looking for ways to engage the campus community in the promotion of human rights and inclusivity for all? Are you interested in meeting people with similar interests and passions? If so, please consider joining the Equity Ambassador Program!
The goal of the Equity Ambassador Program (EA) is to promote human rights and inclusivity for all students, staff, and faculty at UBC. The EAs work:
- To raise UBC students’ awareness of equity, diversity, and inclusivity.
- To help students understand UBC’s policy on discrimination and harassment.
- To encourage student citizenship in promoting positive social change by undertaking personal and collective actions that will help UBC become more inclusive, welcoming, and socially just.
- To contribute to the development of campus policies and processes that promote inclusivity.
- To build partnerships with other student groups and staff agencies concerned with social justice and diversity.
These goals are achieved through training, ongoing support and education, one-on-one interactions, participation in program committees, workshop facilitation, networking, attendance at events on campus and fun!
