In order to attract diverse talents, we should actively seek out promising young people in diverse groups who are currently underrepresented in higher education. Together with the Association, we are strengthening the KU Leuven A-crew and similar initiatives in all regions, giving role models prominent attention in our communications, and forging partnerships with secondary schools in all regions in which KU Leuven is active. We maintain a focus on diversity-sensitive communication at our orientation and information events, such as the SID-ins, and will work with the Marketing and Communication Department to further professionalise faculty (educational) communication staff in this area.
We are also maintaining and expanding our collaboration with schools to the benefit of cognitively strong pupils, who can come and study at our university at an early stage and with guidance.

Together, we make KU Leuven

Thank you very much for the vote of confidence you have placed in me during what has already been an intense campaign. Now we are steaming ahead to the final round of voting! Because if you really want to bring a breath of fresh air to the university, you need to know exactly what is going on, what the needs are and how we can realistically address them. In short, you need to know KU Leuven inside out so that we can move forward together and leave no one behind. That’s why I am keen to continue the dialogue with you, because yes, together, we make KU Leuven.
