In January 2021, the Faculty of Dentistry launched the DEI Advisory Committee to work toward inclusive, diverse, friendly, and respectful culture and values for our staff, students, faculty and patients. We work collaboratively with our DEI subcommittees of students, staff and faculty reps to collectively share our voices.
