UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO
Bridging Black: Building connections for Black flourishing

May 15, 2024

The Inter-Institutional Forum Scarborough Charter 2024 took place May 9 and 10 bringing together scholars, leaders and advocates from signatories of the Scarborough Charter on anti-Black racism and Black inclusion for a dialogue on Black experiences, challenges and achievements within higher education. Hosted jointly by the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University, this two-day event was an amiable and energetic gathering of intellect, activism and community building.

The forum began at Waterloo's Federation Hall with a business meeting, convening executive heads, chief academic officers, and institutional equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) leads from partner institutions. The meeting allowed leaders to discuss policy, progress and strategy to meet the institutional obligations outlined in the Charter.

The winner of the Scarborough Charter Logo Design Opportunity competition was also revealed at the business meeting. Of the top five submissions from different universities, Mary-Ann Adebayo, a Global Business and Digital arts student from Waterloo, submitted the winning brand identity for the Scarborough Charter initiative.
