缅北强奸

Learning from each other

Last week, I attended 缅北强奸鈥檚 to mark the second anniversary of the Quebec City Mosque shooting. It was very moving and emotional, but what really stuck with me were the words of one of the speakers. This individual argued that to create a better society we have to strive to get to know each other, and to learn from each other, and that University is an ideal place to do this. I would agree. Campus communities鈥攅specially ones as diverse as 缅北强奸鈥攁re a meeting place of minds from all manner of backgrounds, with all manner of beliefs, interests and perspectives, brought together for one main purpose: to learn with and from each other. We are uniquely placed to embrace thoughtful reflection鈥攁nd each other鈥攅specially when so many forces are working to polarize our world. Luckily, our campus is filled with countless opportunities to do just this - just a few examples include the Islamic Encounter Lecture Series, taking part in Black History month, looking into the Citizenship stream of Skills 21, or perhaps visiting 缅北强奸鈥檚 Office of Spiritual and Religious Life (MORSL). Let鈥檚 pause, reflect, and really get to know our community. Study hard, stay well.


缅北强奸 is on land which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous Peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations. 缅北强奸 honours, recognizes and respects these nations as the traditional stewards of the lands and waters on which we are located.
