Black History Month 2021

Black History Month is a national celebration and we are proud to use this opportunity to showcase the contributions of our colleagues, students and stakeholders.

They have come forward to share their initiatives, projects, events, reading recommendations and, importantly, to say why they are ‘proud to be.’

The university has a diverse and vibrant workforce and student communities. We are committed to Creating Better Futures and embracing the need to harness the power and potential of different cultures and backgrounds to achieve this mission.
