The People of Colour (PoC) Network aims to give staff a space to connect, socialise and discuss areas of importance around racial equality and representation at the University. Among other crucial topics, the Network's long-term goals are to:
- encourage open and honest conversation
- give staff a chance to express their ideas
- raise issues around diversity at the University
- engage speakers to empower staff
- organise socials, events and raise awareness
The Network hosted its first introductory meeting on Wednesday 19th October from 10-11am, at WH 3.11. The meeting is open to all staff members of colour who wish to introduce themselves, with the opportunity to discuss the nomination of Committee members and potential re-naming of the Network. Attendees will have the option of attending in-person or virtually.
To find out more and stay up-to-date with the PoC Network as it develops, members are invited to join the Network's Microsoft Teams group and mailing list.
