Accelerating Progress Through Collaboration: Panel Discussion Andrea Bale Thu, 02/09/2023 - 09:23

Indigenization. Equity, inclusivity, and Anti-Racism. Health and wellness. Sustainability. What do these goals have in common?

Overview

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a valuable framework for highlighting the intersections between social justice, environmental sustainability, and economic prosperity. While we often approach them separately, there is a growing understanding that these goals cannot be achieved in isolation, and that interconnected approaches are needed.

This panel discussion will bring together voices from the Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Anti-Racism (EDI-R), the Office of Indigenous Relations, Campus Wellness, and the Sustainability Office at the University of ��ݮ��Ƶ. Together, the panelists will discuss how the work across these four portfolios connects, how work across and between teams can be mutually supporting, and how our campus community can continue to create meaningful impact together.
