Equity Centre
The Equity Centre is a safer space on campus where students can hang out, learn, or help organize events and campaigns that raise awareness of equity issues that impact the diverse communities at Nipissing University. We work to foster connection, advocate for student rights, educate the community, and create safer spaces on campus where all identities can be respected. In addition to our general services, we offer two branches, 2QT Pride and Students of Colour United (SOCU). These groups are run by and for their members of the community and provide additional support and programming specific to the unique needs of these equity deserving groups. The Equity Centre and our events are open to everyone. To find out more, visit our Linktree: https://linktr.ee/equitycentrenu
