Congratulations on gaining your place to study at the University of Cambridge! We would love to welcome you on Thursday 21st September 2023, from 1pm-5pm, at the Black students' Induction Programme coordinated by the Black Advisory Hub. The event will involve information sharing, meeting some current students and staff, as well as opportunities for discussion. The programme for the afternoon will involve a range of sessions demystifying Cambridge and giving practical tips on how to navigate the University processes and practices. In addition, current Black students and alumni will host break-out sessions covering a range of topics from societies and leadership, through to post-study career advancement.
Register for this induction event through our registration form.
The induction will take place on Zoom on the Thursday 21st September from 1pm to 5pm (BST). The Zoom invitation will be circulated 24 hours beforehand to registered attendees, so please make sure you register early to be included in the email with the link. We ask that you try to be logged in at 12:55PM in order for us to start promptly at 1pm.
Following this online induction meeting, we are planning some follow-up in person events for undergraduates and postgraduates, after term starts and you have settled into Cambridge. More details of these events will be shared at the Zoom induction, and we will circulate an invitation to those who have registered as well as post further information about signing up on the Black Advisory Hub.
In order to empower incoming Black students to share their hopes, anxieties and questions for their upcoming degree, this virtual induction day is for Black-identifying Cambridge University students exclusively; if you have any questions at all about your potential participation/eligibility, please do not hesitate to be in touch with the BAH team at: contact@blackadvisory.hub.cam.ac.uk.
The Black Advisory Hub pursues values of equity and non-discrimination, and seeks to ensure that the day is fully accessible to all disabled participants.
