Future Shift: Transformative Change within UVic Libraries
Thursday October 14, 2021
From 1:00pm to 1:45pm
UVic Libraries is actively engaged in establishing a number of innovative projects to create transformative change across its organization, specifically in the areas of equity, diversity, inclusion, and decolonization. This change is being implemented in multiple ways, including a new organizational structure, to ensure that systemic approaches are reframed to promote and ensure inclusivity and organizational success. This 30-minute presentation, delivered by Ry Moran, UVic Libraries’ new Associate University Librarian for Reconciliation, will explore some of the changes underway.
