EDI Committee

Similar to the EDI Office, this committee is guided by Loyalist College's values of being caring, creative, engaging, inclusive and accountable, and will serve as a sustainable way to continuously monitor and improve outcomes related to equity (meaning fairness), diversity (meaning representation of the communities we serve), and inclusion (meaning anyone can belong and thrive here).

The Executive Director of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (ED-EDI) is the executive sponsor for the EDI Committee and represents the committee’s interests to the College Executive Team (CET). By providing advice, insight and recommendations to the ED-EDI, the committee plays a crucial role in driving positive change at Loyalist College.
