Welcome to the Clapson Group Research website at the University of Prince Edward Island

Direct efforts made to promote diversity and equity can enable all students to access the tools, programs, and resources needed to be successful in not only their degree, but their intended career. The thoughtful design of these programs; indigenous engagement, anti-black racism workshops, and gender equity in STEM programs for example, creates equal opportunity amongst the student and university population, fostering respect and communication across all gender, racial, and other minority communities. In the Clapson Research Group equity, diversity, and inclusivity go hand-in-hand, inviting all persons to the table, respecting/valuing their opinion, and ensuring they are provided with the tools for success. Here, we need to not only provide tools that promote equity, but also challenge the systematic barriers that result in their requirement. In our efforts to uphold these values we work closely with students and researchers to develop inclusive workspaces, open avenues for nonjudgmental communication, create opportunity for career development (conferences, publications, workshops, etc.), and provide support in pursing scholarships, grants, and other ventures.
