Join in with our celebratory event for Black History Month! This year's BHM is focused on Reclaiming Narratives, which is about taking control of our stories and honouring our heroes whilst challenging the narratives that have often overlooked the contributions and achievements of Black individuals both in the UK and globally.

To mark the occasion we plan to provide the opportunity for students across LSE to embrace, educate, and feel empowered by our alumni, and one another through their career stories and journeys in this speed networking style event. 

This will be a great opportunity to learn from and connect with your alumni community. Refreshments will be provided.

Alumni: Book your spot
