This is a joint message from St Mary’s University, the LGBTQ+ Staff Network and SMSU. While LGBTQ+ History Month is over, we all remain committed to:
St Mary’s University is fully committed to creating an inclusive culture by promoting equality of opportunity and respecting difference. The University has a long tradition of widening access to education for all, while fostering respect and mutual tolerance in society as a whole in line with the mission and Catholic identity. The University’s equality, diversity and inclusion ambitions are complemented by the contemporary theological reflection recognising that each human being is unique and valued.
We are proud that our University is a richly diverse community, where all departments draw on the talents of all our staff and students to create a culture of mutual respect and recognition, where we embrace and share new perspectives and where we believe in the power of education to transform lives. Both SMSU, St Mary’s and the LGBTQ+ Staff Network understand that our continued success is dependent on the contributions of every member of our community and it is this collective spirit which makes us unique.
We all aspire to go beyond legal obligations and embody the University’s core values of Inclusiveness and Respect.
Everyone at St Mary’s is here to support all of our students, but there are some departments who can help you in specific ways if you identify as LGBTQ+.
If you’re not a member of the LGBTQ+ community, we urge you to take a stand against discrimination and inequality; and to not say silent if you witness bullying, harassment or unfair treatment of our students because of their sexual orientation or sexual identity.
Together, we can make the St Mary’s core values of Respect and Inclusiveness a reality here for our LGBTQ+ community.
