You will know that analysis of the University\u2019s overall data shows that the difference in attainment of good honours amongst Black and Minority (BME) students is 18.3%.\u00a0 It has been good to see this improve this year and we want to build on this given our mission is to transform all our students lives.<\/p>\n<p>In response to this priority, the Shaping Futures Board approved a pilot programme of work in 2017\/18. This engaged all academic departments, who implemented and evaluated one or more projects they had designed to reduce the BME-white attainment gap. We have to thank you all for your commitment to this as this has been amazing. 31 initiatives have been delivered alongside four new research projects. Tempted to say here, that\u2019s the #HallamDifference!<\/p>\n<p>We have now agreed a new plan for scaling up awareness, commitment, and activities and to provide a more robust infrastructure to support this activity. This comprises four institutional initiatives to be delivered across the University \u2013 a mentoring programme for BME students; a Hallam-wide writing programme; a Hallam-wide \u2018decolonising the curriculum\u2019 initiative; and work supporting good practice in placements. In addition there will be more training and advice for staff and students, further departmental interventions, and significantly more engagement with students. This work will be closely aligned to the University\u2019s Race Equality Charter work as well as to the work of other key groups.\u00a0 It is being supported by strategic funding as well as the OFFA-accountable monies which faculties receive through the normal finance processes.<\/p>\n<p>We will be communicating more on the work that has happened this year, together with the support available to faculties, departments, staff and students over the summer so that we are ready to support the implementation of next year\u2019s plan from September.<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in this work and want any further information, please contact me.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Jacqueline Stevenson <a href=\"mailto:jacqueline.stevenson@shu.ac.uk\">jacqueline.stevenson@shu.ac.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Excerpt \u00a0from the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.shu.ac.uk\/universitystrategy\/2018\/07\/31\/leadership-bulletin-july-2018\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">July 2018\u00a0Leadership Bulletin<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Shaping Futures update from the\u00a0July 2018\u00a0Leadership Bulletin<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":887,"featured_media":75,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-575","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.shu.ac.uk\/shaping\/files\/2018\/01\/Sheffield-47-Skyline.jpg?fit=1024%2C683&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p9xEmc-9h","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":257,"url":"https:\/\/blogs.shu.ac.uk\/shaping\/2017\/10\/06\/leadership-bulletin-october-2017\/","url_meta":{"origin":575,"position":0},"title":"Leadership Bulletin &#8211; October 2017","author":"Rachel Parnham","date":"October 6, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"The Shaping Futures update from the October 2017 Leadership Bulletin\u00a0including the introduction by Christina Hughes Introduction by Professor Christina Hughes, Pro Vice-Chancellor for Student Experience Pencils sharpened? \u00a0It\u2019s the new academic year and there is anticipation, excitement and some nervousness in the air.\u00a0 And what a year this will be.\u2026","rel":"","context":"Similar post","block_context":{"text":"Similar post","link":""},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.shu.ac.uk\/shaping\/files\/2018\/01\/Collegiate-311-Heart-of-the-Campus.jpg?fit=1024%2C683&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.shu.ac.uk\/shaping\/files\/2018\/01\/Collegiate-311-Heart-of-the-Campus.jpg?fit=1024%2C683&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.shu.ac.uk\/shaping\/files\/2018\/01\/Collegiate-311-Heart-of-the-Campus.jpg?fit=1024%2C683&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.shu.ac.uk\/shaping\/files\/2018\/01\/Collegiate-311-Heart-of-the-Campus.jpg?fit=1024%2C683&ssl=1&resize=700%2C400 2x"},"classes":[]},{"id":287,"url":"https:\/\/blogs.shu.ac.uk\/shaping\/2017\/06\/02\/leadership-bulletin-june-2017\/","url_meta":{"origin":575,"position":1},"title":"Leadership Bulletin \u2013 June 2017","author":"Rachel Parnham","date":"June 2, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"The Shaping Futures update from the June 2017 Leadership Bulletin Shaping futures \u2013 Professor Christina Hughes Prioritisation.
