The Graduate Engineering Equity Committee recognises the systemic barriers that impede the adequate representation of Indigenous students, staff, and professors within the Faculty of Engineering and across our institution. Meaningful discussions of social equity, diversity, and inclusion are not complete without an awareness of whose voices are heard and unheard in our spaces. As we undergo training to become practising engineers, researchers, managers, and communicators, it is imperative that we commit to ongoing equity work, amplifying underrepresented voices and creating lasting opportunities for inclusion.

​

We encourage all to reflect upon our relationship with the lands on which we are situated, now and in the future, including the stories, identities, and rights of the diverse and active Indigenous communities among us. McGill University is located in Tio'tia:ke (Montréal) and sits on unceded land belonging to the Kanien’kehá:ka, one of the six nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. We respect the connection between the Kanien’kehá:ka and the lands and waters on which we meet today.
