The Faculty of Information is committed to expanding access and representation in the information studies by supporting students from high school through to postsecondary education. Through access initiatives such as INFORM (Inclusive Futures in Information), high school students are introduced to emerging fields including data science, user experience design, digital storytelling, library and archival studies, and technology ethics.

These initiatives combine hands‑on workshops, mentorship opportunities, campus experiences, educational camps, and community‑based collaborations to help students see themselves as innovators, researchers, and future leaders in information and technology.
