CS Race Equality Working Group Events

During Black History Month, the Race Equality Working group held its first Black History Month social event with Ashley Bedeau welcoming staff and students to a relaxed evening with delicious Jamaican cuisine. One of the objectives of this event was to meet new people and strengthen togetherness and belonging. Feedback after the event was overwhelmingly positive, and we are planning to organize a similar event in the future. We would like to thank Facebook AI and the EDI Committee for generous financial support.

A special message from Ashley Bedeau: 
I want to take this opportunity to thank all those who attended last month’s Black History Month event organised by the Race Equality Working Group and sponsored by Facebook AI. I also want to say a huge thank you to the following members of staff who put in a lot of time and energy to make the event a success. Thank you to Marc Deisenroth, Kiran Ahmed, Dimitrios Kanoulas, Segun Sowemimo, Wendy Richards, Dawn Bailey, Sebastian Riedel. Also, thank you to Facebook AI and the CS EDI committee for sponsoring the event. Finally, I would like to ask anybody who is interested in joining the Race Equality Working Group or has any suggestions or feedback for the group to please feel free to contact me.
