The Arts & Science Co-op program is committed to integrating Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) principles into every aspect of our curriculum. Our goal is to make EDI central to discussions about the job search process and workplace integration, ensuring that these critical topics are thoroughly covered.
This initiative will help students engage in meaningful discussions about EDI in professional settings and empower them to advocate for themselves and others, representing their full, authentic selves in the job market. We are achieving this by developing new learning modules, updating existing ones, and reimagining our course resources.
By creating tools that highlight the importance of understanding and embracing diversity, we focus on fostering inclusive practices and addressing equity issues. Our aim is to equip students with the essential skills and perspectives needed to succeed in today’s diverse and globalized workforce.
