Welcome from the Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion - Maati Wafford
Maati Wafford works collaboratively with faculty and administrators to enhance the many aspects of Barrie’s equity work. She began as an active member on the Diversity Task Force, the group responsible for crafting Barrie's diversity statement. She provides service and expertise as the school works to continuously sharpen its critical lens towards equity for all in more formalized ways.
