The campaign will run on social media as well as on-campus digital screens.
Queen鈥檚 is launching an awareness campaign for students reinforcing its firm commitment to inclusivity, community support, and opposition to all forms of hate, harassment, and discrimination.
The Together Against Hate campaign highlights important resources and supports available for Queen鈥檚 community members should they experience or witness hate, harassment, or discrimination.
鈥淲e created this campaign to promote an inclusive, diverse, and safe campus community in which respect, understanding, and collaboration are foundational to our shared success,鈥 says Stephanie Simpson, Vice-Principal (Culture, Equity, and Inclusion). 鈥淲e all play a role in challenging hate and promoting safety and respect for all members of our campus community.鈥
The campaign will run on the and will be shared across several Queen鈥檚 social media channels during the fall term. It is also set to run on digital screens in several common areas on campus.
The campaign will point to the Together Against Hate webpage, which promotes mental health services, campus supports and educational resources, and ways to report instances of hate, harassment, or discrimination.
Queen鈥檚 Office of the Vice-Principal (Culture, Equity, and Inclusion) and University Relations developed the campaign with crucial input from student groups, faculty and staff to ensure it resonates with its intended audiences. The Alma Mater Society (AMS) Executive and Social Issues Committee, Hillel Queen鈥檚, and the Queen鈥檚 University Muslim Students Association provided key feedback, while staff from the Human Rights and Equity Office, the Queen鈥檚 Anti-hate Advisory Group, and university faculty and staff contributed their expertise.
鈥淚 want to express my deep gratitude to Queen鈥檚 community members, particularly students, who met with our team to develop this campaign,鈥 says Simpson. 鈥淭heir personal insights and experiences on this sensitive but important topic helped us build outreach that will connect more and more students with crucial resources and supports.鈥
