ABOUT US
The Global University of Inclusivity (GUI) is the world’s first university built entirely on the principle of inclusivity. Rooted in Zimbabwe but designed for worldwide resonance, GUI is expanding through international affiliate campuses and digital platforms, to become a global hub of inclusive learning, teaching, research, innovation, capacity building, community service, and advocacy.
