The Game Changers podcast, brought to you by McMaster Continuing Professional Development Office, is dedicated to exploring the stories of local, bold, and diverse game changers in academia!
This series serves as an educational and inspirational resource, bringing together, highlighting, and celebrating the experiences of these individuals through rich and meaningful stories. The goal is to honor equity, diversity, inclusion (EDI), and Indigenous reconciliation priorities, which academic institutions have sought to prioritize. However, meaningful change can only occur when voices are heard and ideas are nurtured — and Game Changers aims to do exactly that.
New episodes launch monthly, offering narratives that showcase the triumphs and resilience of equity-deserving groups in STEM.
Check out the series HERE.
