EDII - Equality, Diversity, Inclusion & Interculturalism
EDII at MIC
The MIC EDII Office exists to embed an ethos and practice of equality, diversity, inclusion and interculturalism (EDII) at Mary Immaculate College that is underpinned by a whole institutional approach with the staff and student community, and external partners. The mission and strategy of the EDII Office is aligned and guided by the MIC Strategic Plan.
Values
