Student Equity Centre
Our Mandate
The Student Equity Centre (SEC) works to foster a culture at Laurentian University that values and advances equity, diversity, decolonization, inclusion, indigenization, accessibility (EDDIIA), and social justice across its bilingual and tricultural learning community. We work together so that every student from an equity-deserving group finds a sense of belonging and connection at Laurentian University, expands their worldview and awareness of EDDIIA and Social justice through learning and active engagement opportunities with SEC initiatives.
The SEC operates within the Equity, Diversity and Human Rights Office (EDHRO) at Laurentian University.
We work closely with the Indigenous Sharing and Learning Centre (ISLC) and can make direct referrals for you.
We also work in collaboration with the Women's Centre and Pride Laurentian and the student associations AEF, GSA, SGA.
