Wilfrid Laurier University
Tier2-3: Student Training Opportunities

All first year students have three training opportunities available to them: Sexual Assault Awareness Training, Anti-Oppression Training and General Diversity Training. The Diversity & Equity Office also facilitates custom diversity-related workshops for student groups in response to needs or events that require social intervention. In addition, the Diversity & Equity Office facilitates the Diversity Certificate Program, a 6 workshop program delivered each year.

With the creation of the new Diversity & Equity Office, Wilfrid Laurier University is strengthening its commitment to diversity, equity, and social justice at all levels of the institution. As a joint initiative between the Student Services and Human Resources departments, the Diversity & Equity Office will combine the Office of Student Diversity with the diversity and equity programs offered through Human Resources to staff and faculty. During this transition period, the mandate and function of diversity programs, policies and committees are undergoing changes. Please note however that diversity programs, policies and committees have always been in place at Laurier but until recently were rolled out to students by the Office of Student Diversity and to staff and faculty through Human Resources. Laurier is claiming points under the Diversity credits based on the new Diversity & Equity Office as it transitions.
