Access and engagement
The Committee works with the School to implement programmes and practices that improve recruitment, retention, and advancement of students and staff from marginalised communities.
We pursue an intersectional and pipeline approach for our access and engagement activities, and provide training and support for the implementation and enhancement of these activities.
