My goals are to foster a diverse and inclusive environment by continuous and active engagement of all students to remove barriers faced by equity-seeking groups. I will create, support and maintain a learning, research, and work environment that is free from discriminatory and intimidating behaviour. I will continuously address issues related to equity-seeking groups that include, but are not limited to, those represented by race, sex, age, physical disabilities, sexual orientation, gender identity, and socioeconomic status.
