Sending special thanks to the Windrush generation, that came to Britain to build the country that exists today. Their influence has permeated the culture & helped shape this island. They taught us, & made this place a home. We won’t let their legacy be downplayed!

At Stanford, we love to celebrate our diversity and learn about each other. Being part of the Merton Windrush project in the Autumn Term was a great opportunity to think about our journeys and to explore our identities.
