Testimonials
- "Being a BAME ambassador has given me networking skills and communications skills with people from different lifestyles and backgrounds."
- "Being in society committees has helped me develop leadership roles as well as team working."
- "Being president of a society have me great skills in planning, event management, interaction and leadership which I can now take forward and use."
- "I was a committee member last year and it exposed me to people of really varied backgrounds and cultures. It really highlighted how everyone is different and require a different approach to leadership and friendship."
- "I would say I was shy when I first came to university. By getting involved in being an academic rep and getting involved with certain societies I was able to become more aware of people’s needs and wants to help them develop their own academic or personal development. This has really taught me the skills to reflect, engage with others and be able to share my knowledge into my job role in a more confident manner."
