We are very happy to announce a new committee member has joined our ranks. Welcome to Denise Coles who has been co-opted onto the committee as an “ordinary committee member” for the remainder of this term of office. Denise will bring a wealth of experience to the committee, particularly through her EDI experience, and we are very excited to have her onboard.

Denise Coles (LUCU Committee Member)

My Name is Denise Coles and I’m the university’s Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Manager.  I joined the university nearly two years ago.  My role sits within the newly established EDI Service.  A significant part of my job involves challenging oppressive system and offering support and advice on how to make policies, processes and practice more equitable for our University Community.   I was delighted to be asked to join the branch committee and offering EDI advice where I can.

We continue to work on increasing branch committee membership.  If you have an interest in getting involved in the work of the branch, please get in touch with our Branch Organiser, Callum Salfield, for an informal chat.
