They are available to meet ethnic minority students and staff who wish to discuss race equality issues, including how to report racial discrimination, that may arise while in University. This is a confidential service and the EDI Race Equality Advisors will, where necessary, signpost to the full range of other specific support services available to University of Galway staff and students. Each EDI Race Equality Advisor work within a designated College and see further information below.
