But barriers can also be broken down through initiatives of listening and education
from the Anti-Discrimination Service Desk and Inclusion Week events, to the Alias identity Regulation and designation of all gender bathrooms

Every identity matters, every difference is a value

Because respect and action, together, break down every barrier

Awareness, inclusion, transformation. These are our keywords

Being part of our community means living and sharing the values of diversity and inclusion every day, by accepting and cherishing all identities — regardless of ethnicity, religion, gender, country of origin, age, disability, sexual orientation or gender identity

We believe in the power of diversity

Many perspectives, one single goal:
improving the wellbeing of our community

We firmly believe that the prosperity of our University lies in diversity
