Created by Jenny Jones (Academic Support Librarian), the Wrexham University Community Cape represents a snapshot of our University Community at the exact time we were submitting our Action Plan for the Race Equality Charter. Each of the 8000+ petals is a celebration of our people, cultures and identities of the community here at Wrexham University (Academic Year 2024-25)

"I hope people will take away is the concept that: we need lots of different ingredients to make something beautiful. Whether that’s different people, different backgrounds, different ethnicities, As a whole, that’s what makes something beautiful."

This year, we’ve created a short video to introduce our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Annua Report 24/25. We are so proud of our people and work tirelessly to ensure we can celebrate our identities, that our people feel confident in bringing their whole selves to work and that we are all mindful of all of our unique and wonderful differences.
It’s important to know that we take an intersectional approach to our work around inclusion. We understand that no one characteristic is any more important that another and that we, as individuals, are made up of many different identifying features, opinions, values and traits.

Wishing you a happy Easter from all of us here on the People & Culture Team

Easter is probably the most important celebrations of the Christian calendar. Many of the iconography, symbols and artwork we see in relation to Jesus comes from the Easter period – and celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ just three days after his crucifixion, as recounted in the New Testament. It signifies the triumph of life over death, forgiveness of sins, and the promise of eternal life for believers.

Mae Pasg yn debygol o fod yn un o’r dathliadau pwysicaf yng nghalendr y Cristnogion. Daw llawer o’r eiconograffeg, y symbolau a’r gwaith celf sy’n ymwneud ag Iesu o gyfnod y Pasg – ac mae’n dathlu atgyfodiad Iesu Grist dair diwrnod ar ôl ei groeshoelio, fel y nodir yn y Testament Newydd. Mae’n symbol o fuddugoliaeth bywyd dros farwolaeth, maddeuant pechodau, a’r addewid o fywyd tragwyddol i gredinwyr.

This week our Plas Coch campus burst into life as we welcomed our spring graduates back for a well deserved celebration! The Spring,Graduation was a two day event filled with recognition, pride and pageantry. Congratulations.

On Tuesday we had the pleasure of welcoming Joanna (Swash) Knight OBE to the celebrations to receive her Honorary Fellowship for ongoing contributions to business, culture and community. Joanna is the CEO of https://leaders.inc/, driver of business growth, leader of empowered and passionate people, champion of creating stronger communities and supporter of future business leaders.

Wednesday saw Bryn Williams take to the stage to collect his Honorary Fellowship in recognition of his ongoing contributions to hospitality, tourism and to the wider community. Bryn is a renowned Welsh chef from Denbigh who has become one of Wales’ best known culinary figures. He now runs celebrated restaurants including Porth Eirias in Colwyn Bay and a venue at Theatr Clwyd in Mold.

Yr wythnos hon fe wnaeth y brifysgol ddod yn fyw wrth i ni groesawu’n graddedigion yn ôl i’r campws ar gyfer dathliad haeddiannol iawn! Eleni, cynhaliwyd graddio’r myfyrwyr dros ddau ddiwrnod llawn o gydnabyddiaeth, balchder a seremoni. Llongyfarchiadau mawr.

Ar Ddydd Mawrth, cawsom y fraint o groesawu Joanna (Swash) Knight OBE i dderbyn ei Hymrwymiaeth Anrhydeddus am ei chyfraniad parhaus i fusnes, diwylliant a’r gymuned. Joanna yw Prif Weithredwr https://leaders.inc/, yn yrrwr twf busnes, yn arwain timau angerddol ac ymroddedig, yn hyrwyddwraig cymunedau cryfach ac yn gefnogwraig i arweinwyr busnes y dyfodol.

Ar Ddydd Mercher, cafodd Bryn Williams ei anrhydeddu wrth iddo gamu ar y llwyfan i gasglu ei Hymrwymiaeth Anrhydeddus am ei gyfraniad parhaus i adloniant, twristiaeth a’r gymuned ehangach. Mae Bryn yn gogydd o fri o Ddinbych, ac yn un o ffigurau coginio mwyaf adnabyddus Cymru. Mae bellach yn rhedeg bwytai llwyddiannus gan gynnwys Porth Eirias ym Mae Colwyn a lleoliad yn Theatr Clwyd, Yr Wyddgrug.

Kate Hutchinson is a leading trans activist and Trustee of Pride Cymru and Schools Out UK, known for her work advancing trans inclusion in education. Kate has been a key voice in LGBTQ+ advocacy across the region for over a decade. Staff were invited to attend an “in conversation with Kate” on Tuesday.

Thank you Kate, for finding time for us in your busy diary. It’s always a pleasure to have you join us :)


Yr wythnos hon, gwnaethom nodi Dydd Rhyngwladol Gweladwyedd Traws drwy wahodd ein ffrind Kate Hutchinson i siarad â ni am bwysigrwydd hunaniaeth, gwelededd a chydnabyddiaeth.
Mae Kate Hutchinson yn weithredwraig draws flaenllaw ac yn Ymddiriedolwr Pride Cymru a Schools Out UK, ac mae hi’n adnabyddus am ei gwaith i hyrwyddo cynnwys traws mewn addysg.

Yn byw yn Wrecsam, Gogledd Cymru, mae hi wedi bod yn lais allweddol dros ymdrechion LGBTQ+ yn y rhanbarth ers dros ddegawd.
Gwahoddwyd staff i fynychu’r sesiwn “Mewn sgwrs gyda Kate” ddydd Mawrth.

Diolch i ti, Kate, am ddod o hyd i amser i ni yn dy ddyddiadur prysur — mae bob amser yn bleser cael dy ymuno â ni.
