Diversifying Leadership (DL) is a programme designed to support early career academics, professional services staff, Lecturers and Senior Lecturers from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds who are about to take their first steps into a leadership role.
It exists to enable participants to enhance their visibility and authentic leadership within Higher Education and to address the under-representation of leaders from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds in HEIs in the UK at all levels, but particularly at senior levels.
This event is a celebration of REACH staff at the University of Chester who have undertaken Advance HE’s Diversifying Leadership programme, to share some of the key learning and benefits of the programme with others.
Open to all colleagues and students at L7 and above, this event is for anyone who wants to celebrate their authenticity and develop as a leader.

We’re pleased to announce that the Cheshire Prize for Literature is now open for applications.
The 2023/24 Prize has no theme which means you can write about anything that inspires you.
There are four categories, short stories, poetry, children’s literature and scriptwriting, and there are three age groups: primary, secondary and over 18s. One entry can be submitted in two different categories where it is appropriate.
To enter you must live or have lived, work or have worked, studied or have studied in Cheshire, Wirral, Warrington or Halton.
The judges will choose one winner from each category and a prize will be awarded to each category as well as the opportunity to be selected to appear in the Anthology, published by University of Chester Press.
Winners will be announced at our awards evening in the summer. All entrants will be invited to attend.
Any queries about the competition should be emailed to cheshireprize@chester.ac.uk or phone 01244 511344.

Always a fantastic evening, the open-mic nights are a chance to get together and hear some great poetry and prose in a supportive, informal environment. You can bring some poetry or short fiction to read – either your own writing or by a favourite author. Or you might just want to come along, have a drink, and enjoy listening to an exciting range of creative writing.
There’ll also be information about how you can submit your work to Pandora’s Inbox, the University’s creative writing magazine and website, run by students from the English Department. The deadline for submissions is 15 March.
Bring a drink and a friend (the nights are for current students in any department), and come along to the Vicarage Lecture Theatre CVC008 at 6pm. We hope to see you there!
Run by the student editors of Pandora’s Box, English Department.
