Resources Created, Accomplishments from GSA Advocacy
QTWELL is an open, drop-in group, for any graduate student is who a sexual and gender minority or identifies as part of the 2SLGBTQ +communities.
GSA Advocacy resulted in UW Campus Wellness creating this resource for graduate students.
This guide is being developed jointly by Indigenous students from the Graduate Students Association, the Office of Research, and the Library. It is intended to help UWaterloo researchers identify Indigenous-related resources that have been marginalized, erased, and ignored because of dominant Western practices in education, scholarship, and library science.
Our goals in creating this guide are to advance decolonization efforts within the Library and highlight Indigenous research, voices, and ways of knowing.
The Graduate Award for Black and Indigenous Students is being launched by the GSA with funding support from the Graduate Studies Endowment Fund (GSEF) and Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs (GSPA). The award is aimed at increasing accessibility to education for Black and Indigenous students who are currently underrepresented in graduate programs at the University of Waterloo.
