Broadening Horizons

The Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Committee has brought together members of different universities to discuss of how Science Atlantic might support Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion initiatives in the region.

So far the group meetings have been exploratory and have provided members the opportunity to share their interest in this important topic. The committee is in the process of drafting a Terms of Reference to establish itself as an independent committee and to define the purpose and structure of the committee.

After 60 years of advancing post-secondary science education and research in Atlantic Canada, we are proud to celebrate all that our community has accomplished. More importantly, we are proud to acknowledge those that have made Science Atlantic the community it has become.  To each and every one of you, Institutional Representatives, Board Members, Committee Members, and students, we are beyond grateful for your support and guidance over the past 60 years. 

As a tribute to our wonderful Science Atlantic community, we have been diligently working behind the scenes to show our appreciation. The 60th Anniversary Planning Committee has met several times over the past couple of months to discuss meaningful approaches toward celebrating our achievements. With an abundance of propositions and new ideas, we have confidently narrowed down a core group of celebratory tactics. Over the next few months, our team will begin to unravel those concepts one-by-one through various forms of communication. Please stay tuned for our celebratory news, and if you have any additional suggestions, feel free to contact our team at any time. 

We hope our 60th celebrations can share a glimpse of the gratitude we hold for our community. After a successful 60 years, we are so excited to see what comes next.
