EDIA Data and Reports
Student Equity Census
The data gained from this Census will support evidence-based decision-making by allowing the University to identify and address any inequities and patterns that may impede an individual’s success during their educational journey.
Responses will help us all understand institutional trends and where we identify gaps, and enact an action plan that enables us to do better.
Employee Census
Diversity fuels critical thinking.
It contributes to better teachers, researchers, learners and service providers. Diversity is critical to a research institution as it enables better teams and fuels ingenuity, creativity and innovation. Closing our employment gaps requires data to inform evidence-based decisions. Therefore, understanding our employee composition is urgently needed. Please help us be better. Responses to this Employee Equity Census provide valuable statistical information to guide future hiring and employment practices.
EDI Data Hub
Diversity is essential to inclusive excellence in research, teaching and learning. A diversity of voices, experiences and perspectives fuels novel ideas, critical thinking, faster problem-solving, better decision-making, higher employee engagement, and drives creativity and innovation. A diverse talent pool creates the opportunity for new insights and answers to some of the biggest challenges of our time. The University of Calgary is committed to fostering equitable pathways to achieving inclusive excellence across campus.
NextGen EDI Data Symposium
This international virtual Symposium is taking place in the context of an ongoing global pandemic that has aggravated pre-existing inequities and created new ones. The disproportionate impacts on already marginalized communities have renewed calls for disaggregated data – race, age, disability, gender, and sexual orientation – across all social sectors, including health, education, employment, and income.
It is also taking place in the context of local and global demands for measurable progress from initiatives designed to create more equitable and inclusive institutions, workplaces, and communities. These pursuits require disaggregated data, evidence-based policies and practices informed by measurement, quantitative and qualitative data, storytelling, monitoring, transparency, and accountability.

The Office of Sustainability
We are committed to creating opportunities for entrepreneurial thinking, applied practice and project-based learning in sustainability. The Institutional Sustainability Strategy is a roadmap for continuous improvement in our pursuit of excellence and leadership in sustainability.
University Policies & Procedures
The Office of EDI is guided by many university policies and procedures and works with various units on campus to advance an equitable, diverse, inclusive and accessible campus for all. University Legal Services is responsible for facilitating the coordination of policy development and consultation for all institutional policies and procedures.
By developing policies and initiatives from a foundation of equity, diversity, and inclusion, we break down systems that rob many among us of opportunities that are rightfully theirs. By creating foundational guides, we are more equipped at working towards creating environments where every individual can thrive.

Women's Resource Centre
We believe when people come together in a creative space of kindness, they learn to express themselves and nurture their unrealized potential. In this positive environment, students can grow and flourish, becoming advocates and leaders in the community.
