Equity, diversity & inclusion (EDI)
You bring unique strengths, qualities and lived experiences to the workplace. As an employee (including in co-op), you have the right to be:
- treated equitably
- safe
- comfortable
- supported at work
At UVic, recognize that you may face barriers and that you do your best work when you have the right tools and support.
