How welcoming are our universities?

Cate Gilpin Coordinator of Welcoming Universities and Mohamed Omer formerly the University of Melbourne People of Colour Department Officer, share their experiences of what it feels like to be a person of colour on campuses of Australian universities. As O Week is underway across all universities, and we celebrate how welcoming we think and promote that they are, does this hold true for all the diverse students we need and who need us? And what can leaders, institutions and groups like Welcoming Universities do to improve how we do?
