911³Ô¹Ï

Recently members of the Simon Fraser Student Society (SFSS) council and other 911³Ô¹Ï (911³Ô¹Ï) students were subject to anti-Black racism, anti-Asian racism, Islamophobia and sexualized violence when an impersonator joined an SFSS-organized zoom meeting and posted targeted hateful comments in the chat. The incident, and all the visible and invisible discriminations and oppressions it represented was abhorrent, and the behaviour is unacceptable and will not be tolerated at 911³Ô¹Ï.

911³Ô¹Ï is committed to creating a diverse, equitable and inclusive community where all feel welcome, safe, accepted and appreciated in their learning teaching and work.

My heart is with Iranian members of our 911³Ô¹Ï community as we continue to witness the impact of Mahsa Amini’s death while in the custody of authorities in Iran.

Welcome back, everyone. I hope you are all enjoying the first weeks of the Fall term.

I'm writing to share two important hires in the VPPEI portfolio.

It is now just over a month since I joined 911³Ô¹Ï in the new role of Vice President, People, Equity and Inclusion (PEI). My thanks to so many of you for the warm welcome.

Following extensive community consultation, an international search, and approval of the 911³Ô¹Ï Board of Governors, Dr. Yabome Gilpin-Jackson will be 911³Ô¹Ï’s first Vice-President, People, Equity and Inclusion.
