The Staff and Faculty Affinity Networks at Trent University aim to create a safe and supportive community for self-identified underrepresented groups. These networks encourage collaboration and provide a space for staff and faculty to celebrate their achievements and contribute unique ideas and talents through networking and mentoring. It's important to note that the networks are not meant to replace existing forums for addressing specific issues, but rather to complement and support other university departments. The meetings are informal EDI hubs and focus on building a sense of belonging and community.
Please join the following Affinity Groups for our very first Meet-Up.
In Partnership with the Equity and Human Rights Office [EHRO], Office of Student Affairs [OSA] and the Human Resource Department.
Please note: This event is exclusively for Trent University staff and faculty members. We encourage you to join us in building a vibrant, supportive community where all voices are celebrated and valued. Please confirm with your manager that your attendance will not negatively impact departmental operations before registering.
