| Virtual Coffee&Connect meetings |
| |
| In April we started to offer our community the possibility to connect and share experiences about living and working in a 1.5 meter society. During our virtual Coffee&Connect meetings we could help each other by sharing best practices, reducing the feeling of isolation or simply getting to know each other. We will continue these virtual networking meetings after the summer, starting from 11 September. We thank everybody that has contributed to these meetings and whish everybody a good summer with lots of rest and enjoyment! |

| #BlackLivesMatter |
| |
| In light of the unfolding events around the world triggered by the brutal killing of George Floyd in the USA, TrueU and DEWIS expressed their support for the ongoing protests against racism. TrueU and DEWIS strive for an inclusive and safe university for everyone. In our view it is not an option to look away and remain silent about the issue of racism. We aim to continue the urgent conversation on diversity and inclusion on our campus, with the executive board and with other TU Delft leaders. We need more awareness and actions to arrive at necessary changes. |
