About me
I lead a range of projects which aim to ensure that all UWE students from different backgrounds are able to thrive and succeed at university and beyond. These include:
• Deepening Practice-Based Learning: ensuring that all UWE students have opportunities to engage with high quality, meaningful experiences of work.
• Financial Support for Students: oversight of UWE's £5 million annual investment in bursaries, scholarships and hardship funds.
• The Equity Programme: a personal and professional development programme for Global Majority students at UWE.
• University of Sanctuary: recognising UWE's commitment and support for refugees and asylum seekers in our communities, including the Sanctuary Scholarship.
• UWE Bristol Community Fund: an annual grant programme for new partnership projects which provide learning opportunities for UWE students and positive impact for communities around Bristol.
Together, these projects help to deliver the commitments in UWE's Access and Participation Plan and Anti-Racist Strategy, and to reduce and eliminate degree Awarding Gaps.
