What's Up, Welland?
College Drop-In with Samah Sabra
Show Notes

As a thriving community for students and employees to learn and work, Niagara College recognizes that a variety of perspectives is necessary to foster and sustain a welcoming and inclusive culture. But it doesn’t stop there. 

NC is committed to ensuring their environment is equitable, diverse, and inclusive. Understanding that equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) are shared responsibilities is at the core of NC’s new EDI Blueprint. This is not a typical blueprint with technical drawings filling a page. It’s a living document that represents an ongoing and collective commitment to ensuring the College is a place where everyone feels they belong.

Samah Sabra, associate director of workplace equity, diversity, and inclusion, is here to discuss how the Blueprint began and, more importantly, how it’s being implemented and what that means for the campus community, Welland, and beyond.
