Bayes Business School saw dozens of students across multiple nationalities and various degrees enter the Bayes Student Essay Competition.
Published Monday, 18th July, 2022 in University news
Running for the fourth time, the Competition aims to give Bayes students a voice and freedom to articulate where you come from, where you are going, and how the multicultural student experience at Bayes shapes you daily. Ultimately, understanding and hearing your voice is the first step in creating a more empathetic and compassionate environment.
As Bayes is a highly internationalised Business School at the heart of London, our learning environments are inherently multicultural, and meeting people is an integral part of how you as students are prepared for the business world. This year, we wanted to know the new social connections that you built, inside and outside of the classroom, impact your thinking, beliefs, and maybe even who you are.
The Judging Panel this year included Lilian de Menezes (Professor of Decision Sciences and Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion), Amy Ripley (Senior Communications Officer), and Malla Pratt (Director of Racial Equity and Inclusion and Research Programmes Operations Manager)
