Building Bridges

What does it mean to be an ally in the academic space? How can post-secondary institutions learn from students on this journey of equity, diversity and inclusion? Inspired by the efforts of young women bringing change to their schools as they advocate for better representation, this panel is about walking-the-walk. Hear from Tiffany Mongu, one of four Ryerson students who’s petition prompted the creation of a course on reporting in the Black community. She’ll be joined by members of Carleton’s Alumni Association who spearheaded the consultation and creation of a new scholarship for racialized journalists. This panel is about student-led change and activism, what it looks like and how you can bring change to your school. Finally, we’ll also talk about how to carry this activism into your career.
