Education
-
Language
-
Race

Ethnicity
-
Gender Identity

and their vast intersections
Participants require no prior knowledge of prejudice and discrimination, campus organizing, leadership or research, but should be driven to make change in their campus communities.
We train people to dismantle prejudice because we believe that prejudice is the root of individual and systemic exclusion and inequity.

Dismantling Prejudice Foundations
Introductions to prejudice, social location and intersectionality, encouraging you to think at individual to systemic levels to create more equitable futures for all.
Research and Knowledge Mobilization
Skills to create accessible and impactful research projects, guided by your lived experience and the needs of the communities that matter most to you.
Changemaking in Systems and Communities
Learn from grassroots, organizational and policy professionals about how they make change in their respective fields, and how you can get started.
Leadership and Professionalization
Gain skills in leading change, working together as a team, networking, and marketing yourself for the next steps in your change making career.

FAQ
What is the difference between applying as a Fellow vs. Regional President?
Being a Regional President (RP) is a greater time commitment (Fellows commit 3-4 hours a week, RP's commit 5+ hours a week), RPs receive one of three Muldoon-Mosaic Bursaries for $10,000 ($5,000 a year), RPs are responsible for Campus Dialogues and Team Leadership (learn more about those responsibilities here), and RPs have to include a CV/resume in their application in addition to their transcript and application form. Still unsure which one to apply for? Email Program Manager Alexis at ac@mosaicinstitute.ca and she will help you figure it out!
Can I apply to be a fellow and/or regional president as a mature student?
Yes! Mature students are eligible to apply to the UofMosaic fellowship program.
Can I apply to be a fellow and/or regional president as a part-time student?
Yes! Part time students are eligible to apply to the UofMosaic fellowship program.
I’m a fourth-year student and won’t be registered at a university/college in the second year of the program. Can I still apply?
Yes! Students are required to be registered as a student at a university and college for at least one year of the fellowship’s two year term. You are absolutely eligible to apply.
I live in one province, but go to school in another. Which geographic team should I apply for?
If you are between two provinces (for example: you attend school in British Columbia and live their during the school year, but your home is based in Nova Scotia), please choose the province you are physically in most frequently for the next two years. This is so you can attend team events based in that region!
I’m not sure if I’m eligible for the program.
