Vice-Chancellor Sir David Bell explains how the Aurora is supporting the institution’s equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) efforts and creating a cohort of women leaders who are more confident, better connected and more satisfied in their roles.
With both a student and staff population that is majority female, the University of Sunderland is an outlier within the UK higher education sector.
Yet despite its innate women-dominated populous, the institution is still pushing hard to create an environment where women are not only seen but also thrive at the very highest levels.
“Equality, diversity and inclusion doesn’t happen by chance,” said Sir David Bell, Sunderland’s Vice-Chancellor since 2018.
