EDII - Equality, Diversity, Inclusion & Interculturalism
LGBT
LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender and these terms, as well as heterosexual, are used to describe sexual orientation or gender identity. The inclusion of staff and students of all sexual orientations and gender identities is important to MIC as demonstrated by our LGBTQI+ Staff Network, Gender Diversity Training opportunities, membership of the Gender Identity & Expression Equality Champion Network and more.
Pride on Campus
July 2020 marked a momentous occasion for MIC when the Pride flag was raised for the first time on campus to celebrate both Limerick and Tipperary Pride weeks. We proudly flew the flag in solidarity with our LGBTQ staff and students. We are committed to being allies, supporting the LGBTQ community and celebrating the diversity of all students and staff.
We marked Pride 2021 with a look at the history and meaning of Pride in Ireland and across the globe. This interactive session with ShoutOut was designed to give participants a close understanding of Pride and to explore the valuable role of allies and LGBTQ+ folks alike in supporting the ongoing struggle for equality, all around the world.
Pride 2022 was no different as staff and MISU representatives gathered in July for the annual flag-raising again.
