Qui vit quoi? Diversity Days
First edition
Inclusion is a core value at HEC Montréal. The School is committed to providing its community with an environment where every person, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression, feels valued, respected and fully secure.
As an integral part of our society, this diversity carries a wealth of perspectives, talents and experiences that contribute to the innovation, creativity and performance of our community.
It is with this in mind that the EDI team of the School’s Office of the Secretary General, in collaboration with HECinéma, invites you to join the first edition of Diversity Days and participate in various free activities to exchange views, learn and celebrate.
