Student Opportunity and Events
Stand Up Against Islamophobia - SU events
Stand Up Against Islamophobia is a series of events during Islamophobia Awareness Month, highlighting how Islamophobia manifests within our society and wider culture. The events range from speakers and panels to reading and poetry performances. At the end of the month, we will also hold a consultation forum about the barriers faced by Muslim students at Warwick. The next event will be this evening at 6pm in the Oculus, OC0.02, 'An evening with Suhaiymah Manzoor Khan'. Khan is a writer, poet and educator. Check out the rest of the events happening.

Steps to Wellbeing session: Productivity and work-life balance
Maintaining a healthy work-life balance can be a challenge at times, so we must take a step back and see what areas of our lives may require less or more attention. If you feel like your work-life balance or productivity needs some adjusting, why not sign up to our next Steps to Wellbeing session on Wednesday 16 November at 10am. Registrations close at midnight on Tuesday 15 November.
