Inclusion Hub
Empowering Students. Driving Equity. Celebrating Identity.
At JMSU, Student Voice is more than representation — it's action. We’re here to amplify the voices of all students, particularly those from marginalised communities, by championing Liberation, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI). Together, we build a campus where every student feels heard, valued, and empowered to create change.
Liberation & EDI: Working Together for Change
Liberation is about student-led activism — celebrating identity, challenging injustice, and building safe, inclusive communities.
EDI is the foundation that supports this: ensuring fairness, access, and respect across everything we do at JMSU.
Together, they shape a campus culture where no one is left behind, and every voice matters.
Equity, Diversity & Inclusion at JMSU
Fostering a culture where everyone belongs — that's my commitment to you.
Under the leadership of Miles Craven, JMSU President, we are driving forward a bold and inclusive vision: to positively promote inclusion, diversity and empower to provide every LJMU student and staff member with knowledge, respect, and opportunity.
Liberation at JMSU
Liberation at JMSU is more than a word. It’s a movement. We stand with students from all backgrounds and identities, celebrating diversity through vibrant campaigns, meaningful events, and ongoing activism.
Our aim is to break down systemic barriers, build lasting connections, and create a university experience where every student feels empowered to speak up, lead change, and thrive.
