Dr Iwi Ugiagbe-Green has strategic leadership responsibility for differential outcomes within the University. Differential outcomes is the term used to describe the fact that students with different demographics/characteristics e.g. Black, Asian and/or first in family to go to university, and/or from a low socio-economic background are less likely to achieve a so called ‘good degree’ (1:1 or 2:1) or go on placement, or achieve a graduate job than a student who does not have these demographics/characteristics.

Iwi created STRIVE as part of her leadership on addressing differential gaps.

Manchester Metropolitan University is committed to addressing this issue.

As such, friends to STRIVE, Tayba Nazir and the BAME Ambassador network have organised a debating panel. To find out more about this issue and what the University is doing to tackle the problem join us on 11th November 2024 – There is free pizza!!

Debate – Should universities inform students about ethnicity award gaps?

  • 11th November 2024
  • 1.00pm – 2.15pm
  • Conference suite (Students’ Union)
  • Face to face

In 2023 colleagues from the university, planted two small areas which we have named the Wangari Maathai woodland, in honour of her work. In November 2024, Dr Helena Kettleborough and Dr Sam Njinyah will be planting trees again. It will be great for STRIVERS to be part of this amazing sustainability project too!
