The Provost’s Program for Black and Indigenous Postdoctoral Scholars will contribute to the reduction of barriers for Black and Indigenous scholars in a supportive environment that fosters inclusivity, a sense of belonging, and a culture of engagement.

The Program directly supports Waterloo’s strategic plan to strengthen sustainable and diverse communities. More specifically, the Program advances Indigenous initiatives and promotes a culture of equity, diversity, and inclusivity for all, improving the representation, participation, and engagement of equity-deserving groups within our community.
