Identity-Based Supports

Identity refers to how we understand and express ourselves as individuals. It encompasses factors such as race, ethnicity, nationality, culture, gender, sexual orientation, religion, language, ability, socioeconomic background and life experiences.

Feeling seen, respected and affirmed in your identity is essential to thriving at Seneca. Our identity-based supports provide culturally affirming, inclusive spaces and resources that celebrate the diversity of the community and actively support students who may face unique barriers or challenges. 

These services aim to build confidence, nurture community connections and reinforce your sense of belonging. Whether you identify as a member of a historically marginalized community, seek spaces to explore or affirm aspects of your identity or simply wish to learn and connect, these services are here for you.
