SUMMARY:CM Seminar: Belonging at QMI: What Our Community Told Us\, James Day\, UBC Blusson QMI
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: James Day\, UBC Blusson QMI \nTime: 10:00-11:00am \nLocation: BRIM 311 \nTitle: Belonging at QMI: What Our Community Told Us \nAbstract: In fall 2025\, members of the QMI community were invited to share their experiences of equity\, inclusion\, and belonging at the institute. This presentation summarizes preliminary findings from survey responses across our community. The results show strengths\, including high levels of respect within immediate lab environments\, comfort sharing opinions\, and recognition of diverse perspectives. At the same time\, the survey identifies a major institutional challenge: while many respondents report a strong sense of belonging within their own labs\, that feeling drops substantially at the institute level. Qualitative responses point to recurring concerns around supervision and power\, caregiving and flexibility\, accessibility of physical spaces\, and everyday cultural practices that can unintentionally exclude. On behalf of the EDI Committee\, I will highlight these themes and share practical next steps that could help QMI become a more connected\, inclusive\, and supportive community. The presentation will be short\, leaving lots of time for conversation.
