As the UK’s European university, Kent values intellectual and cultural diversity. More than 25% of our students and over 20% of staff come from outside the UK; for academic and research staff, the figure is even higher at 37%.

Our international community not only contributes to our teaching, learning, research and campus experience, but also to the economic, cultural and social fabric of the region.

On 20 February 2017, there will be a national day of action to celebrate the contribution migrants make to the UK. The national organisers of One Day Without Us have called for a single unifying action to take place at 13.00. Kent, along with other universities across the UK, will recognise the contribution made by our international community.

Come along, bring flags and banners, stand with students and colleagues to show your support, and we will share this moment via social media using #1daywithoutus

Join us
To demonstrate your support, join us over your lunch break from 12.30-13.15 in front of the:

• Registry (student reception side) on the Canterbury campus
• Rochester Building on the Medway campus
