Equalities Week: BAME Network

19 November 2020 - 14:00

As the Hertford community grows increasingly diverse, our students of BAME heritage are finding it ever more useful to talk to Hertfordians who have experienced the unique issues relating to race and ethnicity both at Oxford and in the workplace.  This platform will give students the opportunity to connect with alumni and share their experiences.

Our panel will consist of Eda Seyhan (International Human Rights lawyer), Jeremy Boon (Strategy and Analytics Manager at Deloitte) and Eric Clement (Managing Director at NYCEDC).  This event will see these speakers discussing equality and diversity in the workplace, with a focus on the transition from university and will give you the opportunity to hear from alumni and build your networks.

This event is open to all young alumni and current students.  If you would like to sign up, please fill in this Google form and we will send the Zoom link out for you to join the call.
