The institution has worked to include a variety of BAME role models within the university as it is beneficial to both staff and students in inspiring progression and demonstrating what is possible at the institution, both internally, and externally. The institution currently has fairly good representation of role models, for example, their TV advert has BAME students as prominent participants. The institution also has selected role models representative of the BAME community, particularly working with BAME alumni. In addition, the Marketing and Communications team worked with key stakeholders around the university (for example, careers/employability regarding alumni visibility, faculty managers around specific buildings). For alumni, there was development of an alumni employability 'package' to 'sell' to alumni, with an established pathway to facilitate alumni engagement.
