Loughborough University marks LGBT+ History Month 2026

February is LGBT+ History month, and the LGBT+ Student Association and LGBT+ Staff Network have come together to organise an array of activities open to students, staff and the general public.

Your chance to nominate exceptional individuals for Honorary Awards

Current students and staff can nominate exceptional individuals to receive either a University Medal or an Honorary Degree.

Important information for staff who park in the east and central parts of campus As you will know, work has commenced on the new student accommodation near the Edward Herbert Building. We previously notified colleagues that this necessitated road and car park closures, and that two temporary car parks had been created to largely mitigate the loss of spaces.
