Diversity
Vision Statement
Our institution firmly believes that in order to prepare people to lead extraordinary lives, we must gain insight from members of all cultures, regardless of their race, gender, religion, ethnic background, socio-economic class or sexual orientation. In efforts to educate the Oshawa community about the rich diversity of its constituency, we promote essential values that help sustain this diversity - including respect for others, close personal relationships, effective communication and an engaged concern for the common good.
UOIT strives to foster and sustain an environment of inclusiveness that empowers us all to achieve our highest potential without fear of prejudice or bias. We commit ourselves to building an exemplary educational community that offers a nurturing and challenging intellectual climate and a respect for the spectrum of human diversity. We expect every member of our academic family to embrace the underlying values of this vision and to demonstrate a strong commitment to attracting, retaining and supporting students, faculty and staff who reflect the diversity of our larger society.
