EDIA

Our vision
Dalhousie inspires our diverse community to serve Nova Scotia, Canada, and the world through innovative and impactful teaching and research, world-class scholarship, a passion for learning, and a deep sense of social responsibility. 

Our mission
To lift the intellectual, social, and economic vitality of our local, national, and global communities through an institution-wide commitment to a world-class student experience, interdisciplinary collaboration, and mutual respect and inclusion in all aspects of our academic, research, and civic priorities.

Fountain School EDIA Mandate:
Dalhousie University is located in Mi’kmaki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq. Mi’kmaki is also home to a vibrant and long-established African Nova Scotian community. Nevertheless, Indigenous, Black and other racialized communities, including 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, and persons with disabilities, continue to be under-represented within the many levels of Dalhousie University. 

Equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility are crucial to the health of academic units and their relationships to our broader society. The Fountain School of Performing Arts's Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (EDIA) Committee aim to assist our school in achieving EDIA-related goals, such as faculty, staff and student representation, inclusion in programming, and curriculum form, structure, and content.
