Diversity Week
An annual Yale-NUS College tradition that serves to elevate our community values and catalyse conversations across campus that centre diversity, equity, and inclusion.
This week-long programme engages all members of the community in celebrating our collective diversity and is intended to be an opportunity to explore ideas and topics that may be new to us or differ from our own. Opportunities to have meaningful, respectful conversations about our differences is what makes a liberal arts community so special.
Diversity Week sessions represent multiple identities and perspectives, they are the fruits of collaborations across campus with students, faculty, and staff; featuring community members, external guest speakers, and programme partners.
Take a glimpse of past Diversity Week programming below:
“What if the Tables are Turned?” Exploring The Social Model of Disability through Goalball
