Calgary, Alberta, Canada Mount Royal University Full time

Job Description:

About MRU:

Founded in 1910 and located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Mount Royal University grew into a vibrant college in the 1930s and became a mid-sized university in 2009. Mount Royal has carved out a distinct niche by offering smaller class sizes, a robust liberal education and unique undergraduate programs. Currently, more than 15,000 credit students choose from 13 bachelor degrees and 38 majors.

Mount Royal University is located in the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of the Treaty 7 region in southern Alberta, which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut'ina and the Iyarhe Nakoda. We are situated on land where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. The traditional Blackfoot name of this place is "Mohkinstsis," which we now call the city of Calgary. The city of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation.

-
Participate in the development of data resources to support MRU Equity, Diversity and Inclusion initiatives, including survey development and reporting and secondary data analysis
-
Collaborate with colleagues to further the overall mission and vision of university and the Office of EDI
-
Collaborate to draft an EDI Action Plan that will address underrepresentation of designated groups through improvements to governance, transparency and monitoring
-
As assigned, complete an in-depth internal review of programs and practices from an equity, diversity and inclusion lens to identify opportunities to improve programs
-

-
