A hallmark of McMaster’s commitments to equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) is the President’s Advisory Committee on Building an Inclusive Community (PACBIC), which is a long-standing committee tasked, among other things, with providing a forum for discussion, reflection and learning on important social issues related to equity, inclusion and community building. The Priorities and Planning Steering Committee (P&P) of the PACBIC meets frequently to respond to particular or emerging issues and explore how best to take these up and elevate to the attention of the President.
