The senseless killing of George Floyd on a Minneapolis street has shaken society and forced people the world over to take a hard, honest look at anti-Black racism. Rest assured the impact has been keenly felt in the Faculty of Engineering, and we have heard our students as they ask what we are prepared to do to address this issue. As an educational community we have a responsibility to identify and report racism and then work to dismantle it and not remain comfortable with the status quo.
