SMI’s Diversity and Inclusion committee is responsible for promoting this ethos and ensuring that SMI is welcoming, supportive and inclusive to all staff, students and the wider community.
By practising the principles of equity, diversity and inclusion at SMI, we seek to create a vibrant and inclusive environment that allows ideas to flourish, people to be empowered and our community to grow.
