Diversity Committee

The iREx Diversity Committee was created to pursue the following objectives:

Vision : iREx will be an inclusive, respectful and diversified environment, where everyone receives equitable support to progress professionally.

Mission : To foster the professional integration, within iREx, of people from groups that are traditionally under-represented in the field of physics research, in order to increase the scientific prosperity of an institute that is inclusive and proud of its diversity.

Objectives:

• Increase the recruitment of people from under-represented groups at all levels of education and employment;
• Promote the integration and retention of these people within iREx;
• Promote diversity in science through iREx;
• Encourage the pursuit of a career in research after studying or working at iREx.

At the present time, the committee includes Étienne Artigau, Frédérique Baron, David Lafrenière, Marie-Eve Naud, Nathalie Ouellette, and a student representative, Michael Radica.
