Being You Network at BNU

Welcome to the Being You Network!

The BNU Being You Network is a place to amplify the voices and intersectional experiences particularly those from underrepresented and under-resourced groups in Higher Education. It is a supportive space to network, collaborate and most importantly, learn about the intersectional and diverse experiences and needs of underrepresented and under-resourced staff in Higher Education.
