“Diversity Festival is truly a community-led event. All contributions have come from students and staff across the University, and EDI has collaborated with ARC and UNSW Estate Management to drive the success of the festival. This is a fantastic opportunity for our community to come together and show their support for a fair and just society,” says Associate Professor Bruce Watson, Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Equity Diversity & Inclusion.
"The Division of EDI is proud to be hosting the festival on campus again, for an exciting week of events that tackle important topics where everyone can participate.”
