Diversity and Inclusion Calendar

“We will make St Andrews a beacon of inclusivity, placing diversity and equality at the centre of everything we do and creating an environment in which all can flourish and realise their potential.”

The University of St Andrews recognises that one of our greatest strengths is our diverse cohort of staff and students. We are committed to creating an inclusive study and work environment for all and we recognise that, in order to achieve this, everyone has a part to play.

The Diversity and Inclusion Calendar webpages are designed to bring together and promote diversity initiatives, projects and information from across the University. Each monthly theme will provide key resources to enable each of us to foster a culture of understanding and inclusion in our work and study environments. This information can also be used to raise awareness of equality and inclusion and to help plan events and initiatives in an inclusive way.

The present theme is:

October/November – Race and Ethnicity Equality

The themes listed for each month have been chosen to represent the diversity of our community and key areas of activity, but are not exhaustive. We recognise the intersectionality of protected characteristics and acknowledge differences in the lived experiences of individuals.

Future themes will include:

  • Health and Wellbeing
  • Gender Equality
  • LGBTQI+
  • Accessibility
  • Community Building

If you would like to suggest a date, event, or resource to be included in the calendar, please contact [email protected].

The University has been making a determined shift in its culture to ensure all our students and staff can thrive in St Andrews. The Diversity Calendar provides a platform to bring together resources, projects and events supporting EDI organised by and for our community. I encourage everyone to take a look, engage with the information provided, and learn more about the great work going on across the University to celebrate diversity and help create an inclusive environment for all of us.
