Come along and join our BHM activities
This October, the University of Wolverhampton is proud to honour Black History Month under the powerful theme: "Standing Firm in Power and Pride." The theme invites us to celebrate the resilience, pride, and lasting impact of Black communities, acknowledging their vital contributions to history, culture, and society.
Staff are encouraged to take part in a rich and varied programme of events, thoughtfully curated to inspire reflection, spark meaningful conversations, and strengthen our sense of community—both on campus and online.
A full schedule of activities will run throughout the month. Please see below for key highlights and further details.
