Representing students of African, Middle-Eastern, Asian, and Afro-Caribbean descent, and those descended from the native populations of the Americas and the South Pacific, the Black & Ethnic Minority Students' Committee (BME Students' Committee) addresses issues specific to BME students. We work with  other committees and student societies, in particular the NUS Black Student Campaign to improve BME student representation and at all levels within the university and nationally.

Our activities include holding talks and discussion groups on related issues, and providing a voice for Black students. In addition we celebrate diversity and black history during Black History Week and International Women's Day.

I would like to remind everyone that you have the right to report any form of harassment, including that on the grounds of race or ethnicity, to the university, either through SSiD in person, or online at: http://www.sheffield.ac.uk/ssid/harassment.

If you would like to gt involved with the committee please feel free to email us at bmesc@sheffield.ac.uk, or contact us on our Facebook or Twitter pages. Also, we'll post regular updates on our Facebook Page and Group so that you'll be up-to-date with what we're doing.
