Equity, Diversity and Inclusion on Campus

Diversity Counts on Our Campuses.

November 7, 2022

RRC Polytech recently launched the Diversity Self-Identification Survey, where all employees and students are invited to voluntarily self-declare as part of one or more of the following equity groups:

  • Women
  • Indigenous peoples
  • People with disabilities
  • Racialized persons
  • Persons of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community

Participation in the survey will help give the College an accurate picture of who is on our campuses, supporting future inclusive initiatives.

See why RRC Polytech employees and students are self-identifying, and share your story on social media by using the hashtag #CountMeINcluded.

I’m self-identifying, because in the sentiment of Jason Collins, openness and representation may not completely disarm prejudice, but it can be a start. As a library worker, I would add that equitable representation building the data to inform strategies to disarm prejudice can be a positive next step.

Jemma Ignacio
Student Life Director, RRC Polytech Students’ Association

I’m self-identifying because diversity extends far beyond visible characteristics. I want to assure that all members of RRC Polytech create an environment where everyone’s voice, regardless of their respective differences, is both heard and appreciated.

Make your voice heard and representation know. Complete the Diversity Self-Identification Survey today.
