News from DMU In 2018, New York was the locus for the launch of DMU s most significant international collaborations yet: our involvement with the United Nations Together campaign. Together offers worldwide support to refugees at a time of significant crisis. At the UN, DMU students were able to voice their own views at the heart of international diplomacy. We have also made the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are designed to address global challenges including hunger, health, education, climate change and social justice, a key feature of the DMU curriculum; this major step has won praise from a senior member of the UN. During his visit to DMU in summer 2018, Maher Nasser, Director of the UN s Department of Public Information Outreach Division, announced that DMU had been chosen by the UN Academic Impact group to be a Designated Hub for SDG 16, a measure supporting peace, justice and strong institutions. It makes DMU the first university to be selected in this way. This year, DMU was also named the first University of the Year for Social Inclusion by the highly respected Sunday Times Good University Guide. We earned the award because of our commitment to empowering students from all backgrounds; we give every individual opportunities to develop their talent, work hard and succeed, and make a difference in society. 8
