Equity
What we do
The SFU Physics IDEA Team aims to promote changes that make our community more inclusive, equitable and diverse. We operate under a Shared Leadership model.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to any of our team members listed below for any questions, issues, or suggestions related to EDI in the department. We are happy to hear from everyone and will do our best to help all people (students, staff and faculty) have a positive experience during their time as part of SFU Physics.
We were recently featured on SFU News! Check out the news story here.
