CALENDAR 2017Focus on WORLDWIDE PRIDE CONNECT DAY

✓ Instead of keeping our Professional Development Workstream in 2017 we would like to organize a one-off event across our regions in June 2017 to promote all we have developed, designed, produced for our Members to date

✓ The aim is to use PRIDE Month – where our BRG already benefits from a certain visibility – to brand our BRG to our current (& potential) future members. Key focus shall include amongst other things:

- Webinars on a selection of topics (e.g. Alphabet soup, LGBT Role Model & Visibility, Mentoring & reverse mentoring, virtual sessions offered with the support of our strategic partners such as Stonewall, PFLAG…)- Ally Program Campaign (e.g. promoting and branding all our material around our Allies)- Get to know our Executive Sponsors (e.g. live interviews via WebEx with Sara and Bob)- Connect Day events at local sites

STRUCTURES AND PROCESSES

Vice-Provost

Dame Nicola Brewer - UCL Vice-Provost (International)

At a time when there seems to be increasing support for populism and nativism, progress on equalities is vulnerable. So I feel it’s

doubly important to speak out in favour of diversity and inclusion right now. I don’t want to see the gains made, painfully slowly, in

recent decades, slip away.

And there’s always more to do, to make everyone feel valued and included and able to be themselves – that’s one of the things I love about UCL: the way people are encouraged to bring the whole of their personalities to work (though I try to keep my grumpiness on

cold, grey, winter Monday mornings to myself).
