The U of A is committed to cultivating an institutional culture that values, supports, and promotes equity, human rights, respect and accountability among all members of our university communities. As part of this, we are planning how to make equity integral to our working and learning culture by shifting from EDI as 'in addition to,' to EDI as 'what we do.’ We invite your input to help achieve this.

Changing the Story - Integrated Action Plan

How do we continue to build a vibrant, equitable, and interconnected university together? This incredible undertaking requires that we tell a different and transformative story.

As part of this work, the EDI Plan Steering Committee has launched the Integrated Action Plan which features a multi-dimensional model that has been developed from the extensive input gathered from the university community. This Action Plan hopes to inspire community members to join us in our pursuit of co-creating a better future for all.
