I'm honoured to have been appointed as the Vice Chair of @FISU's #GenderEquality Committee. We have a big task ahead, but I'm looking forward to engaging with our members from across the world in order to tackle gender inequality in university sport. bit.ly/2Tho5oX

Taking part in sport at @UniofNottingham shaped me into the person I am today. It's unacceptable that students are increasingly unable to take part in @UoNSport, simply because they can't afford it. That's why I'm supporting this year's #UoNGivingDay spsr.me/Bew4

Did you notice anything different about the Opening Ceremony of @Chengdu2021? For the first time ever at the @FISU World University Games, participating countries had the opportunity to be represented by joint flag bearers- one female and one male. #GenderEquality #FISUGames

This small but symbolic change reflects FISU's increased commitment to achieving gender equality in university sport. The change was implemented following a proposal from the FISU Gender Equality Committee back in 2020. It was great to see so many countries get involved!

It was great to lead the #GenderEquality workshop yesterday at the @FISU World Forum in Costa Rica (albeit remotely) alongside the brilliant @sporttanner. Very interesting presentations and discussions with over 40 leaders in university sport. The future is bright!
I recently had the privilege of interviewing two Ukrainian students who were evacuated from Ukraine to @helsinkiuni. Anastasiia and Oleksandra shared with me their stories of how they came to Finland and how donated grants have helped them. Find out how you can support 👇

Two weeks after drafting the first proposal, I'm so glad @helsinkiuni has launched a new #CrisisFund and emergency appeal to support students and researchers affected by the invasion of Ukraine. More info and Donate: helsinki.fi/en/cooperation/s…
Osana Ukrainan tukitoimiamme olemme avanneet Venäjän hyökkäyksestä Ukrainaan kärsiville opiskelijoille ja tutkijoille tukirahaston opintojen ja tutkimuksen jatkumiseksi Suomessa. Lahjoita Ukraina-keräykseen 👇 #WeAreHelsinkiUni #StandWithUkraine helsinki.fi/fi/yhteistyo/lah…

It's also really important to note that we have deliberately designed the Crisis Fund so that it could be used in the future to collect and distribute money for any humanitarian crisis.
