Rainbow Engineering Network
The Faculty of Engineering Rainbow Network aims to provide support for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex students and staff.

The University of Auckland’s Equity Policy, which includes (LGBTI) students and staff as an equity group, forms part of our commitment to supporting all those with the potential to succeed at New Zealand's leading university.
Our University offers a range of initiatives aimed at providing support for LGBTI students and staff, and is committed to providing an inclusive study and work environment that removes unnecessary, unlawful and unfair barriers.
Within our faculty, the Rainbow Engineering Network provides:
- Opportunities to meet and connect with fellow LGBTI students and staff, along with their friends
- Information about services, news and events
- A voice for LGBTI students and staff in Engineering
