As a majority- BAME student population, it is important that we celebrate the achievements of our Black students. Studies have shown the recognition of student success directly impacts the overall grade progression of university students.
If the University of Leicester is committed to providing an inclusive-learning environment for all students, we must spend the time to recognise their achievements.
However, as important as it is to celebrate excellence, our Black students deserve a night to unwind and celebrate the end of the academic year. At Leicester Students' Union, we believe in the importance of community which is why we wanted to extend the invitation to our university students across the UK.
