People who register in advance and attend in person a keynote address on Friday, March 15, will be entered into a draw for one of six $25 UwinCASH gift cards. The cards may be applied to campus purchases — at food outlets, the Campus Bookstore, vending machines, printers and photocopiers.

The hybrid event will open the University’s Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Decolonization Week.

Journalist, activist, and author Desmond Cole will discuss “The Many Harms of EDID” in a free public presentation at 3 p.m. in Salon A of Alumni Auditorium on the second floor of the CAW Student Centre. Register here to attend in person and be eligible for the prize draw; register here to attend via MS Teams.

It’s actually the second event in the series, following the EDID Week Fair, 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Friday in the student centre Commons, which will showcase campus and community partners in promoting equity.
