Black Advisory Hub

 

Overview

The Black Advisory Hub has been co-created with students and with careful consultation with a range of stakeholders, ranging from student societies, academic and professional staff, and cognate units and committees, all with an interest in supporting institutional initiatives to address race and to support Black students, both undergraduate and postgraduate.

The Steering Group for the Black Advisory Hub addresses the need for a leadership body to support the team of project associates, students and CCTL staff. This Steering Group will provide oversight of the agenda and priorities for the work of the Black Advisory Hub.  It will also ensure that the Black Advisory Hub stays focused on its objectives stemming from a set of agreed ‘aims and values’.

See the Terms of Reference for the Steering Group.
