At Essex, we don’t separate our students and academic staff, or our professional
services staff from our alumni. Everyone is a member of our community for life.
Our three uniquely intimate campuses encourage an inter-weaving of people,
ideas and disciplines. We celebrate diversity and challenge inequality. Whatever
your background, race or sexual orientation, you are part of a vibrant community
that lives, learns and plays together.
We demonstrate our commitment to equality of opportunity, and endorse our
reputation of being at the forefront of progressive change through:
n
our student LGBT Society, which is over 40 years old and was arguably the first
LGBT society in the country
n
being a founding member of the Essex LGBT Alliance – a partnership of
Essex-based organisations
n
being one of the first universities to introduce a Harassment Advisory Network
n
being recognised as amongst the most inclusive employers in Britain by being
in the Stonewall Top 100 in 2016
We have three campuses at Colchester, Southend and Loughton
with good transport links to London and major airports.
