What is ABDN:365?
ABDN:365 was born out of a need to continue the promotion of inclusion and celebrate diversity all year round and not solely during associated awareness raising campaigns. ABDN:365 provides us with an opportunity to celebrate and recognise the invaluable contributions that our diverse community makes to the University of Aberdeen while promoting ongoing support for our students and staff.
