Connect with Equity-Deserving Students at Career Fairs
We will work with EDID Support Offices (Accessible Education, Indigenous Student Centre, Western International etc.) to ensure that there is representation from equity-deserving students from Western at Career Fairs.
Western has over 200 student groups, organizations, and clubs as well as an active Graduate Student Society, many of which are centered on diverse identities such as race, culture, gender, sexuality, neurodiversity, ability status, and more. We will work with these student groups on campus to ensure that there is representation from equity-deserving students from Western at Career Fairs.
If there are specific communities, populations, or student groups that you would like to reach out to for events or employment opportunities, please let us know and we will do our best to facilitate a connection. Please note that each student group has different mandates and their goals may vary year to year. Student clubs may choose the opportunities that they participate in or promote at their own discretion.
