As VP Inclusion 2022/23, I have worked on ensuring all students have access to support regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, (a)gender, sexuality, age, disability, faith, spiritual beliefs, and experience.

I am excited to achieve more for you through my manifesto:

Optimisation

• Refine approaches to champion inclusion and cultural groups through belongingness, engagement, safety, accessibility and pride. 
• Improve support for men’s mental health.

Community

• Diversify events (consider sensory requirements, mindfulness, and mid-day events and cultural celebrations).
• Lobby support for placement and study abroad students (especially those with protected characteristics).

Empowerment

• Cultivate diverse leadership through networking and training.
• Provide financial literacy training (especially for care experienced/estranged students).

Accessibility

• Facilitate the Accessible Learning Forum – co-create the future of education.
• Lead Accessible Campus Project – design a better navigating experience.

Nurture

• Ensure the University continues researching its relationship with the slave trade history and takes appropriate action.
• Promote understanding of diversity through the @StrathFocus Campaign - featuring diverse student journeys. 

Passion Projects 
I will apply for the alumni fund for:

• An App that shows real-time availability for study space
• A Reception Service that actively supports disabled people

Ongoing Projects

• Pre-arrival inductions (for widening access and international students); 
• Translation of information on physical and mental health care and housing; 
• Deaf awareness; 
• Resource packages for inclusion groups (e.g.LGBTQ+); 
• Introvert-friendly Events.

If you share my vision, please vote ‘Yu-Chu (Kathy) Doong’ #1 for VP Inclusion!
