Diversity Counts on Our Campuses.
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.
Over the next several weeks, employees and students will be sharing why they are self-identifying. Share your story on social media by using the hashtag #CountMeINcluded.
Celeste Doan
Student, Community Development
Being people of colour, women, self-identifying as 2SLGBTQIA+, or being a part of any minority communities is usually considered as a life disadvantage by people around me. But I don’t want to see that being who I am as a disadvantage, I want to see it as my asset, that’s why I’m self-identifying. We should take pride in who we are.
Jeff Herkimer
Instructor, Teacher Education
I’m self-identifying because as an instructor to future educators in the RRC Polytech Teacher Education Program I believe it’s imperative that we become educated and respect human diversities if we wish to build a strong global community.
