Diversity and Inclusion Adventures

We are constantly striving to establish an inclusive culture, practice cultural competence, change policies to secure equality, and promote student-driven events. MGIS does not miss to celebrate any festival and in doing so, the students and their families get to share their cultural inheritance with food, music, dance and oral literature.
