Photo of Breda CullenWelcome to this issue of HAWKEYE, which is focused on equality, diversity and inclusion in IHW.

As we welcome new students and embark on the new academic year, we want to celebrate our achievements, highlight our aspirations, and show you how everyone can contribute to building our inclusive community.

In this issue you can read about: 

  • recent achievements of our Athena Swan working groups, and their plans for the future;
  • colleagues' experience of contributing to equality, diversity and inclusion activity and what they've gained, both professionally and personally;
  • new initiatives and resources, and how they can help us to make IHW a fairer, kinder place in which to work and study, and our staff and students to thrive.

Next year we will be preparing our Athena Swan Gold Award renewal application. Please look out for the launch of our consultation activities in 2022, when you will have the chance to tell us what Athena Swan and equality, diversity and inclusion means to you, and the positive changes you want to see in the next five years.
