The Diversity Plan portrays our reality, paints a picture of our aspirations, and identifies the gaps that exist in our journey to be the kind of university we want to be from the perspective of diversity. As such, it is a living document that we will review annually so it will both shape Concordia and be shaped by Concordia for many years to come.
