Global Majority Students

This community is for students that are Black, Asian, dual-heritage and/or students who have been racialised as ‘ethnic minorities’. We aim to offer a safe space to socialise and to meet other students with similar lived experiences and to bring positive change to their university experiences.

Community Engagement Lead

What would you like to achieve in your role this year?
This year, I hope to cultivate a community where Global Majority students feel a genuine sense of belonging and confidence in sharing their stories. Through creating spaces for dialogue, connection, and celebration, I want to help build greater understanding and appreciation of the diverse identities that make our university unique. Having spent the last four years at the university through my Master's and now my final year of a PhD, I understand both the opportunities and challenges that come with university life. I want to be approachable, supportive, and someone who will genuinely listen. If something matters to you, it matters to me, and I'll do my best to help and advocate for you. Most importantly, I believe that we succeed by lifting each other up. While we'll take on important issues together, I also want our community to be a space where we can connect, celebrate, and enjoy the journey along the way.
