Bristol Mentors is now open for applications for home UK students returning for study in 2024/25.
We caught up with Elena (Politics and Sociology BSc), one of two Bristol Mentors Student Associates about her experiences as a mentee on the programme.
As part of LGBT+ History Month, the Careers Service hosted a panel event exploring what it’s like in the workplace for LGBTQIA+ individuals.
The event connected current students with speakers from the LGBTQIA+ community who work in a variety of different sectors, allowing those who attended a chance to hear stories and advice, and ask questions.
Our panel included –
Cassie Agbehenu (she/her or they/them) – Director of Impact and Influence, Bristol Students’ Union
Dr Jo Hartland (they/them) – Senior Lecturer, Bristol Medical School
Mateusz Lipinski (he/him) – Business Analyst, Deloitte
Yiran Liu (she/her) – Audit Associate, Deloitte
Raeesa Rajmohamed (she/her) – Barrister, Academic Writer and Human Rights Implementation Centre Advisor
Here are their key tips for LGBTQIA+ people to thrive in the workplace.
