Build community, foster connection, increase visibility. When 2SLGBTQ+ staff and faculty add their names to the Out@MacEwan directory, they support students who report not knowing any visible 2SLGBTQ+ academic role models and mentors on campus.
Out@MacEwan brings visibility to our diverse and vibrant 2SLGBTQ+ communities at MacEwan University. As part of our directory, faculty and staff share their pronouns and describe their identities in their own words.
Our directory is voluntary and represents staff and faculty from across the University who have chosen to be publicly identified. Register to be a part of the Out@MacEwan directory and we will include your name and details in the list below.
