The Human Rights and Equity Office (HREO) “The mandate for Equity Services is to work with Officers of the University, the Senate Education Equity Committee and the Council on Employment Equity to ensure that equity is achieved throughout the University in accordance with the Report on Principles and Priorities adopted by the Queen's Senate in 1996.” HREO’s Advisors’ roles includes but not limited to: • Provide leadership, information and liaison on equity

matters throughout the University • Identify throughout the University those structures,

practices and policies which create inequity • Initiate processes to identify gaps in equity policy and to

facilitate the development of new policies, procedures and programs that remove barriers to equity and ensure greater and equal participation of marginalized groups and individuals in the University

• Provide initiative in effecting cultural change throughout the institution so that equity becomes everyone's concern and responsibility.

Advancing IDEAs

Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) has long been a strategic priority for Advancement. We are committed to deepening our understanding and reflecting on the diverse community we serve, to become a more inclusive, equitable and multi-culturally competent organization. To emphasize the importance of this initiative, Advancement formed an Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Working Group in Spring 2019. JOIN TODAY by contacting Advancement Human Resources! We are committed to reviewing our efforts, addressing gaps and opportunities, developing a comprehensive strategy and framework with measurable and achievable goals. Our hope is that one day EDI is integrated and sustainable – ingrained into the fabric of Advancement. Activities of this group include, but are not limited to:

• Coordination of Advancement Enhancement Day

• Staff Meeting Presentations

• Training and Awareness Programmatic Initiatives (i.e. observing faith-based days, the workplace safety initiative, and use of land acknowledgments)

Advancement // at Queen’s

This is a fantastic time to join the Queen’s team. In 2016-17, Queen’s University celebrated its 175th

anniversary buoyed by an unprecedented decade of philanthropy. Through this collective success we

have demonstrated that our university community understands and values Advancement.

During the Initiative Campaign (2006-2016), we were inspired by the commitment, generosity, and

leadership of donors and volunteers, who have strengthened Queen’s global reputation for excellence,

revitalized the campus landscape, and helped attract promising students as well as eminent scholars

and researchers. We look forward to welcoming you to help us build on this success as we strive to go

boldly into our next 175 years.

Led by the Vice-Principal (Advancement) and in partnership with the university’s senior leadership, the

Office of Advancement leads and coordinates alumni relations, advancement communications and

marketing, fundraising and donor relations to build life-long relationships with alumni, volunteers and

friends of Queen’s to advance the strategic vision and academic mission of the university.

Together, we advance the reputation of Queen’s as an exceptional research-based institution of higher

learning.
