Our focus is on creating a warm and welcoming environment for everyone, and fostering a diverse and inclusive community in which every student can thrive and succeed.

In practical terms, we’ve done a lot over the last few years to help make sure students from all backgrounds and walks of life feel comfortable in expressing their authentic selves in College. Much of what we do centres on listening with a view to learning, so that we can all contribute to positive and meaningful change across society.

Fostering a diverse and inclusive community

• We’ve run race awareness training programmes across the College community (and we plan to do more).
• We have a Race Equality Working Group which includes student representation.
• We have a multi-faith spiritual room in Fountain Court.
• We hold a number of social events relating to different cultures and religions. The College hosts an annual Black History Month formal hall as well as a Stephen Lawrence Day lecture. The JCR and MCR are supported each year in organising themed formal halls for other occasions too, such as Diwali and Chinese Lunar New Year.
• We were one of the first five Colleges in Cambridge to support the Care+ Campaign, which is a University-wide initiative dedicated to making Colleges, departments and faculties more inclusive for LGBTQ+ students.
• The Senior Tutor, Dr Victoria Harvey, is the first point of contact for equality, diversity and inclusion concern and queries. Victoria sits on the Race Equality Working Group. 
• The Women's Art Collection has reviewed its acquisitions programme to ensure that, moving forward, the Collection reflects the diversity of the College.
