Power, Race, & Priveledge Symposium

The Power, Race, and Privilege Symposium is an annual event created and organised by students at Quest University Canada. The symposium aims to foster critical awareness and dialogue about the ways that institutional, internalised, and systemic racism intersect with other oppressions and create experiences of marginalisation, privilege, and resistance. By putting Quest faculty and students in conversation with other respected scholars and activists, we hope to deepen our understanding of the ways that power and marginalisation function both on our campus and beyond. Want to get involved? We'd love to have you.

Queer Prom

“Queer Prom” is now an annual event that started in 2018, hosted by the Lumen Room staff and volunteers and funded by QUSA. Made to honor our LGBTQIA+ community and create a safe and fun environment to socialize, dance, take cute photos and do normal cheesy prom things. Considering regular prom can be pretty cis-heteronormative, we want to offer students a chance to reclaim and celebrate “prom” their way!
