Learn how we're making Western a more inclusive place, together.

Western’s Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, Decolonization and Accessibility (EDIDA) Strategic Plan: Advancing Inclusive Excellence, was launched in December 2024 and represents our collaborative roadmap to building a more inclusive Western community and campus.

The plan was created in robust consultation and extensive collaboration with the Western community and embodies Western’s commitment to creating an equitable, diverse and inclusive community for all. Thousands of Western students, alumni, staff, faculty members and leaders shared their ideas, experiences and aspirations for the plan.
