Campus Unity Week Roundup

Campus Unity Week was a celebration of diversity and student communities at the university, led by SU President Sharanya and VP Wellbeing & Diversity Olivia. Supported by the Students' Union and university teams, the week aimed to foster inclusivity, understanding, and connection. We encouraged everyone on campus to feel valued, heard, and empowered to share their stories and invited students to engage in meaningful dialogue and bring our communities on campus together.  

This was such an incredible week that celebrated the diversity of our Royal Holloway community. A variety of events took place over the course of this week done by our fabulous Community Officers including a Cultural Fashion Show that was run by the International Community and showcased gorgeous fashion from around the world. A variety of interactive events to create communities on campus such as LGBT+ Students Community x LGBT+ Society Zine and Art Event and Vision Board Event- Women’s Student Community x Women in STEM. This was topped off by the Community Officer Fair, which allowed the Community Officers to discuss their wonderful communities and everything they have in store for this year.  

There was also a Festival of Languages and Cultures that was done in collaboration with the University. We would like to highlight the incredible work of Tom Pease and the International Advice Team. This event had an incredible range of cultures and it motivated students to showcase their traditional foods, clothes and even bond over the interest of learning new languages. A massive shoutout to all the students who ran a stall, as this event would not have been as incredible without you guys.  

This was by far Olivia's favourite week as a sabbatical officer so far and she is so incredibly grateful to all the Inclusion Community Officers and societies that made this so amazing.
