After multiple conversations and queries about the fact that Lancaster has no BAME committee, we’ve finally done it. I’m pleased to say that as of February 2025, we’re in business! 

 

 

Although we have little set in stone, the committee is working on lots of ideas to debut the team to students and staff at Lancaster University. These include informal socials, networking and career sessions, as well as collaborations with other popular societies (and more, so stay tuned). 

 

Some FAQs 

What does BAME mean? 

BAME stands for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic [groups] and can be another term for people of colour (POC). 

 

What are the BAME committee aiming to do? 

We aim to engage, inspire and unite students of ethnic minorities through a variety of academic and social activities and discussions. 

 

How can I get involved? 
There are lots of ways to get involved in and support the committee: 

• Attend events 
• Listen to the podcast 
• Follow and share our social medias and subscribe to the newsletter
• Invite people who may be interested in the committee’s activity 
• Join the team – if there are roles available, why not get in touch if you’re interested? 

 

I don’t identify as a BAME student – can I still be involved? 

Yes! The BAME committee will have a specific focus on ethnic minorities at Lancaster, but we would love to see support from you nonetheless. 

 

We can't wait to update you on our activity. Stay tuned for the new Instagram account so you can follow us there to hear more and if this is interesting to you, sign up for our Official BAME Committee newsletter to get fortnightly updates.
