Agenda item

To view the presentation on the Goldsmiths Equity Awards.

The Board welcomed staff and students from Goldsmith’s College University of London to commemorate the Goldsmiths Equity Awards supported by the CoLC, and viewed a presentation on the awards delivered by the Director of Development and Alumni Relations.

The Board noted that 50% of students at Goldsmiths were from BAME backgrounds, and that 37% of those came from a financially disadvantaged background, leading to the development of the Equity Awards fundraising campaign (£3K pa across a 3-year undergraduate degree), with a target of £3M, of which £1.4M has been raised. 

The Board also heard from the Academic lead for the Equity Awards and some of the beneficiaries on the impact of those Awards. The video produced by Goldsmith’s is available on request.
