In support of its focus on promoting and enhancing equality and inclusion, the University’s LGBT+ Staff Network and Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) team, are delighted to partner with the LGBT+ Staff Network from University College Dublin (UCD), to host an online event to mark LGBT+ History Month.
