Dean's EDI Update - March 2024

Excerpt from Dean Yolande E. Chan’s “From the Desk of the Dean” (March 15, 2024) outlining the McGill Desautels Faculty of Management’s EDI efforts.

In February, the Desautels EDI Team, along with BNP Paribas’ Black Heritage ERG, hosted the informative panel event, ‘Growing Careers in the Financial Sector to celebrate Black History Month’. BNP panelists and I offered students insights into important skills needed to succeed and provided valuable networking opportunities.

Following the success of our first gender identity workshop in collaboration with GRIS-Montréal last November, a second workshop was held on March 13, allowing us to learn more about the experiences of gender-diverse individuals in our community.

In reaffirming our commitment to inclusivity, we acknowledge that the Islamic holy month of Ramadan began this week. Several community members are fasting and may require accommodations.
