Dr Vanessa Ho receives the institutional Silver Athena SWAN Award

St George’s, University of London holds an institutional Silver Athena SWAN Award. The St George’s Self-Assessment Team (SAT) supports the Athena SWAN award submission process and tracks progress of our Silver Award Action Plan 2017-2021. The team is led by Dr Vanessa Ho, Dean for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion.

SAT has representation from both men and women, including staff from a range of academic and professional services roles, career stages, and life experiences. Undergraduate and postgraduate students are also represented.

The team meets regularly and reports to Diversity and Inclusion Steering Group. SAT members are also supported by Athena SWAN champions on St George’s Council, and critical friends at other universities.
