The Faculty of Science Students Association is committed to creating an environment that celebrates equity, diversity, inclusion, indigeneity and accessibility. As a faculty, we embrace the richness of science and ideas when there are diverse backgrounds, perspectives and voices. We are dedicated to providing an open and inclusive space where everyone, regardless of background, can thrive and be successful.
At FOSSA, we respectfully recognize that at the Waterloo campus we are located on the ancestral lands traditionally shared by the Neutral, Anishnaabe, and Haudenosaunee peoples. This territory is integral to the Dish with One Spoon Treaty between the Haudenosaunee and Anishnaabe nations, embodying the commitment to collaborate, safeguard our resources, and cultivate harmony without conflict.
At FOSSA, we acknowledge the underrepresentation that individuals from various backgrounds may face, including but not limited to women, indigenous communities, and racialized groups. This recognition has been a driving force propelling us to actively bridge the existing gaps and create a more inclusive community. Through collaboration and initiative we have been able to raise awareness for different foundations, promote diverse programming and use student feedback to better our efforts. As part of our ongoing commitment to inclusivity, we will continuously learn, evolve, and adapt our practices.
