We are very proud to announce that we have become the first university on the island of Ireland - and only the second in the UK - to achieve the prestigious #AthenaSwan Gold Award. The @Athena_SWAN award recognises our commitment to advancing #GenderEquality across higher education and beyond. “To have come from a men-only university at the outset, through to the pioneering Riddel sisters who established a hall of residence for women students through to the long list of high achievers in medicine, the arts, engineering and across a full range of disciplines, today feels like the culmination of a long and worthy journey. "But it is not the end. The Gold award is a fantastic achievement for the University and will spur us on to continue this important work.” (Professor Karen McCloskey, Director of @QGI_QUB and Deputy Director of @QubPGJCCR) Learn more here: ow.ly/hOFw50QwIWP #LoveQUB @QUBVChancellor @QUBstaff @QUBEqualDiverse
