President's Public Lecture Series (Orillia, ON + Online)

This will be followed by our President's Public Lecture Series talk by Dr. Sarah Olutola, Associate Professor and a member of the Royal Society of Canada, "Talking About Racism During Turbulent Times". 

Dr. Olutola will lead a frank discussion about how the current political climate necessitates a re-examination of how we think about racism and what we can do about it. Presented in partnership with #ITSTARTS and Research & Innovation Week, this event underscores our shared commitment to advancing dialogue, scholarship, and tangible change.
