As a globally recognized institution, Sask Polytech’s community is made up of people from around the world. Our diverse student population comes together in the classroom to nurture new ideas, and adds new dimensions to what and how we learn. For the eighth year, we are celebrating this incredible diversity through a series of events during Intercultural Week.
Saskatchewan Polytechnic is hosting its eighth Intercultural Week to:
- Honour and celebrate cultural diversity within Saskatchewan Polytechnic;
- Deliver the week’s activities using a provincial lens in order to provide similar learning opportunities at each main campus location;
- Facilitate the transfer of knowledge and experiences among diverse communities; and
- Foster safe learning spaces in which diversity is honoured and respected.
Come celebrate diversity within Sask Polytech by joining us February 27 – March 3, 2023, at various events throughout the week! Everyone is welcome!
