Student Equity and Inclusion Network

The Student Equity and Inclusion Network (SEIN) brings students together to drive positive change across the university. Got an idea to improve equity and inclusion? Contact us or – even better – join the group.

What is the Student Equity and Inclusion Network?

The Student Equity and Inclusion Network (SEIN) is made up of students from a wide range of backgrounds, identities and lived experiences. This group acts as an advisory committee, helping to shape initiatives, action plans and emerging priorities that advance equity and inclusion across the university.

Anyone can apply to join SEIN. Positions are offered each year, with expressions of interest carefully reviewed by a selection panel to ensure diverse representation.

Applications are closed.

There’ll be future opportunities to join SEIN. Stay connected and keep sharing your ideas.

Why join the Student Equity and Inclusion Network?

We want Federation to be a place where inclusion isn’t just a value – it’s something we live every day. That means listening to students and acting on ideas that make a real difference. Have your voice heard and be part of making positive change.

SEIN members attend four online meetings each year and receive a $50 stipend for every meeting they attend. 

We're making an impact

In 2025, SEIN members have:

  • Developed a proposal for a guideline for students working in online group spaces, now being developed in collaboration with the Learning Skills Advisor team
  • Reviewed current student equity training and provided feedback
  • Participated in recorded videos used in student equity training
  • Contributed ideas to help shape Respect Week 2026
  • Shared attendance at meetings for the Respectful and Inclusive Communities Action Plan meetings.

Think Federation could be improved?
