On Friday 11 February, Anna Ceesay, a second year Biochemist, and Outreach Officer for Warwick's Biological Society, is joining a Virtual Q&A panel to celebrate Women in Science at Warwick. The day marks the sixth International Day of Women and Girls in Science; a day designed to promote full and equal access to, and participation in, science for women and girls. The live panel event will give the opportunity to meet some of the women in our Faculty of Science, Engineering and Medicine, and ask them any questions about Science at Warwick. Find out more

UniAssist is a widening participation progamme project, led by Jasmin Kaur and her team of fellow SLS undergraduates (Krupa Pandya, Shirly Vijaykumar, Ifeoluwa Ifekoya, Naiomi Bunbury, Sakina Zaidi, Robynn Wisz, Ruby Kumah, Megha Bawa), to raise aspirations and support school students from a low income/low-progression background in being able to make a successful application to various higher education programmes. This project is kindly supported by the department and in particular by the SLS outreach team.

On 6 March, UniAssist held a very successful launch event where 17 sixth-form students from two local schools, Lyng Hall School and Finham Park School visited SLS. The students participated in a professional skills workshop, motivational talks from academics, campus tours and face-to-face mentoring sessions with SLS undergraduates to inspire more students from non-traditional backgrounds into University.
