Community members of the U of M are welcome to join the town hall organized by the office of equity transformation (OET). This event is scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 6 at the Marshall McLuhan Hall, room 205. This program aims to foster discussions on creating a university environment that is diverse, inclusive and fair for everyone.

During the event, various individuals from the U of M community who are dedicated to promoting equity, anti-oppression, anti-racism, anti-ableism as well as promoting diversity and inclusion will share their insights and experiences. The town hall meeting attendees will be asked to ponder over the question, “what makes U of M a vibrant community for you?”

The event will provide the chance for interaction and involvement based on diverse activities. There will be a vibrant community engagement booth experience where visitors can have their picture captured, which will add to the many diverse faces of the U of M community.

In addition, there will be interactive booths which will feature current programs targeted at advancing equity, anti-oppression and transformation at the U of M.

Also, the first 150 guests will be gifted an OET tote bag.

Guests can join the model equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility community of practice and engage in its activities in order to experience this community-building endeavor firsthand.

The event will take place in-person but will be live-streamed with closed captioning for those that cannot attend in-person. An ASL interpreter will also be available at the in-person event.
