Awardees (2020)

We offer wholehearted congratulations to the following winners of the 2020 Equity Awards in two categories: Team and Student.

Check out their interview with the McGill Reporter!

The winner of the team category was the Graduate Engineering Equity Committee (GEEC).

The Graduate Engineering Equity Committee (GEEC) is a team of graduate students and postdocs within all departments and schools of the Faculty of Engineering. They work to promote social education and awareness through a number of activities such as workshops, discussion groups, de-stress events and networking opportunities.

They work in collaboration with other units at McGill working to promote wellness and equity, including Peer Support Centre, PGSS Equity and Diversity Committee, Local Wellness Advisors, and the McGill Art Hive Initiative.

McGill University is on land which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations. We acknowledge and thank the diverse Indigenous peoples whose presence marks this territory on which peoples of the world now gather.
