ABOUT THIS EVENT
Are you an Instructor or otherwise work directly with students? Do you know what to do if a student requires accommodation for neurodiversity or a disability?
Join Joanna Angelidis (she/her), Associate Director of Student Wellbeing and Accessibility, and Tanya Buschau (she/her) Advisor, Respect Diversity and Inclusion as they provide valuable information on supporting students with accommodation needs. They will share information about what accommodation is and why it is needed for students. They will explain the process of accommodation through Accessibility Services at BCIT and the role Instructors play and can answer questions you may have. They will also provide an introduction to Universal Design principles in teaching and learning.
This session is open to all members of the BCIT student, staff, faculty, and internal partner (e.g. student association, alumni association) community but will be particularly valuable for Instructors and program/department heads.

Expectations for Behaviour
Diversity Circles, as part of the BCIT Respect, Diversity, and Inclusion (RDI) Office, has outlined the Expectations for Behaviour for our events and initiatives.
Diversity Circles has always benefitted from the empathy, sincerity, and respectful curiosity of our community, and this has helped create events and initiatives where we hold productive and authentic discussions, advancing our knowledge and utilization of equity, diversity, and inclusion principles.
As our events and initiatives continue to reach out to diverse audiences which include BCIT employees, students, and partners (BCIT Student Association, BCIT Alumni Association, and industry guests), and as we have moved towards presenting events both in person and via teleconferencing platforms, we realize that having a set of expectations for behaviour will help maintain the accountable, respectful spaces our community has come to expect from Diversity Circles events and initiatives.
Please take the time to review our Expectations for Behaviour prior to your upcoming participation
