Join Vice-Chancellor, Professor Steve West and The Students' Union President Mo Ebengho for an open discussion about disability, inclusion and change at UWE Bristol.

Steve and Mo will share their thoughts on UWE Bristol's commitment to improving the experiences of disabled students and reflect on their own journeys. They are looking forward to meeting you, hearing about your experiences, and answering your questions.

This is an opportunity to:

• Find out more about the Disabled Student Commitment and the plans being developed across the university and wider higher education sector.
• Share your experiences and perspectives.
• Ask questions directly to our leaders.
• Influence and inform future decision-making.

This event is for students who are disabled, neurodivergent, and/or have physical or mental health conditions. You will not be asked to disclose any condition, but we hope to create a space where you feel comfortable to share your experiences if you wish.
