Yale-NUS strives to create a community that builds and supports diversity, equity, and inclusion within our student body, faculty, and staff.
As part of the diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts at Yale-NUS, there have been ongoing conversations about how to build a more inclusive climate for all members of the campus community. Through a year-long series of interview across campus, numerous priorities were identified. Some projects were already underway and new areas for growth were also uncovered.

Inclusion in the Classroom
An inclusive classroom allows for individuals with different identities and experiences to learn from each other in a supportive environment. Inclusive classrooms are welcoming and aim to meet the diverse academic, social, emotional, and communication needs of all students. When inclusion is done well, everyone in the class benefits.
