Hybrid Seminar on Wednesday 3rd May - Inclusivity Matters!
The Inclusivity Matters committee would like to invite you to an upcoming event which is part of their Inclusivity Matters! seminar series, which aims to improve awareness of equality, diversity and inclusivity (EDI) on campus and more broadly.
The first seminar on the topic of Disability & Accessibility will be held on Wednesday 3rd May, 1pm -3pm in the Exchange Lecture Theatre, Penryn Campus or join online via Teams. This will include a talk from guest speaker, Dr Kelsey Byers, on their experience as an advocate for disability in science and their work on the inclusion of disabled students in STEM. The talk will be followed by a panel discussion composed of the speaker and members of our campus who are relevant to the discussion and whose perspectives tend to be underrepresented.
This is a hybrid event, so you will be able to join in person or via Teams. All students, ECR and staff are welcome to attend this event. The venue will be wheelchair accessible, and refreshments and a quiet space will also be provided for those attending in person. Information for joining online via Teams will be shared closer to the event.
