Safe & Inclusive Campuses Resource Guide
The Safe & Inclusive Campuses Resource Guide aims to point community members to resources and events that can be accessed quickly if they need various supports.
It provides a central location for resources and events that community members can access quickly and easily both on and beyond our campuses. These resources range from teaching and learning resources to encourage open minded inquiry, innovative approaches and forward-looking solutions, to events and supports that foster individual and community wellness, open dialogue and a greater sense of belonging.
