Student Support

Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, & Indigeneity

Smith Commerce is committed to advancing equity, diversity, inclusion, and Indigeneity, including anti-racism within the program, and to preparing students to promote those values in their business careers.

A variety of resources are available to Commerce students within Smith School of Business and at Queen’s University. Explore Inclusive Queen’s and Smith’s EDII website for more about commitments, programs and initiatives.

Queen’s University’s Office of Indigenous Initiatives builds community, advances reconciliation/conciliation and integrates Indigenous ways of knowing and being into the fabric and life of the university. Its mandate is to help build a campus that embraces reconciliation and encourages all members of the Queen’s community to learn about Indigenous ways of knowing.

Explore the services, programs, clubs, and initiatives available to Indigenous students at Queen’s.
