As a club, our focus is to increase diversity and inclusion within the Schulich community and the Canadian corporate pipeline. As such, we created a collective that operates from an inclusive framework that includes all experiences.
Our objective is to facilitate a coalition of students that identify as members of the black community or as allies of the Black community within Schulich in order to:
Showcase Schulich's Diversity
Attract top talents to the school, making it a leader in issues of diversity and inclusion
Diversify Corporate Canada
Connect members of the club with partner firms to increase the diversity of their talent pipeline
Help Members Succeed
Host events to help members bolster the knowledge and skills required to succeed in securing impactful roles
The overarching Canadian theme for 2022's black history month is February and Forever: Celebrating Black History today and every day. The Canadian theme falls in line with the BGBN's vision and the BGBN’s theme for Black History Month (BHM) 2022:
BGBN’s theme for Black History Month (BHM) 2022 focuses on advocacy and representation as a continuous process. As we celebrate BHM, let us remember it is a call to action and reflection of what was and what we want the future of black lives to mean. So we welcome and acknowledge allies to join BGBN as it hosts its annual Black History Month series every Friday throughout the month of February starting at 5:30 pm.
