New year’s message from the DE&I Team and Social Safety Team

As we step into a brand-new year, we, as UT’s DE&I and Social Safety Team, want to take a moment to reflect on what truly makes our university remarkable: you!

Each of us contributes to the vibrant tapestry of our diverse community – our Diversity of Twente. You may have seen that we have converted our UT letters at the campus entrance to Diversity of Twente for the coming week. It serves as a reminder that together, we must continue to be actively committed to shaping our university as a place where everyone belongs and can thrive. In difficult times – like those we face now – it is precisely that shared commitment that will carry us forward.

Let us remember that we are stronger together. By working collaboratively and across disciplines, we can continue to build a university that excels academically and embodies the vital principles of respect, equity and inclusion.

In 2025, we will encounter opportunities, challenges, and difficult moments. We must face them – and we can face them – by continuing to listen to one another, by showing up for each other, and by standing together against all forms of exclusion. By holding ourselves and each other accountable, openly and respectfully, about our behaviour and our shared responsibility, we can make a real difference.

We wish you a New Year filled with personal growth, strength, and meaningful connections. Let’s engage and support one another in this new year.

You can always reach us through the websites of the DE&I Team or via the page dedicated to social safety.

Together, let’s make 2025 a year of progress, unity and belonging
