Advisory Group Membership

A diverse group of internal and external ´ó·¢¿ìÈý²ÊƱcommunity stakeholders form the Advisory Group membership. To ensure strong representation, ´ó·¢¿ìÈý²ÊƱencouraged community members with an interest in contributing to this process to indicate their interest in participating through an open Call for Expressions of Interest. In addition, Unions representing unionized faculty and staff at ´ó·¢¿ìÈý²ÊƱhad the opportunity to appoint a member from each of their respective unions to be a part of the Advisory Group. 

Advisory Group members were selected with an EDI lens based on their Statement of Interest in participating and their ability to attend meetings. Stakeholder groups such as the ´ó·¢¿ìÈý²ÊƱStudent Union, ´ó·¢¿ìÈý²ÊƱGraduate Student Association, and ´ó·¢¿ìÈý²ÊƱAlumni Association, were also consulted in relation to representatives for their respective areas.

The Advisory Group membership includes:
