At NU-REN (Newcastle University Race Equality Network), we believe in fostering a sense of community, connection, and support among our members.
Coffee meets resume with the start of the new academic year – an opportunity for NU-REN members to come together, socialise, and get to know their peers in an informal and welcoming setting.
Members of the NU-REN Leadership Team will be in attendance to welcome members, and vouchers to subsidise drink purchases will be available. This year we will have invited guests to join us at some of our sessions.
