BCUSU is proud  to support students from underrepresented groups. Use this page to find out how to get involved with Women's History Month at BCU and in Birmingham!

"Women’s History Month is a time to highlight the achievements and contributions of women throughout history and the push for gender equality. This year’s theme is ‘Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations’ which celebrates women who’ve dedicated their lives to education, mentorship, and leadership to influence future generations.

“We support student empowerment throughout the year, especially by creating communities through societies and by taking your campaign proposals on our Ideas Board.

“As your Vice President Equity & Inclusion, I encourage you to join our Women’s Society today! It’s free to join and if you want to host community events, organise empowering talks or socialise with other women at BCU – join the committee.”
