alumNIGHTS: Toronto — Social mixer

Equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) have become a high priority for businesses, educational institutions, organizations, and more. But is EDI just a trend? And what does EDI entail? At our upcoming social in Toronto, you’ll have a chance to hear from UBC alum Pangus Kung (BCom’07) from the Canadian Centre for Diversity and Inclusion. Kung will share his story of growing up in Canada, his experiences of working in the EDI field, and his interest in making a positive impact. All alumni are invited to bring along guests for this mix-and-mingle event that will offer insights into how we can make changes that benefit everyone.
