Earlier this month, MMCS MD Monica Mwanje joined a group of influential Black Leaders from Liverpool to attend the launch of the Leaders Reciprocal Mentoring Programme, led by Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU).

The University’s Executive Leadership Team have partnered with senior Black Leaders from across Liverpool. The two-way mentoring aims to create open and honest conversations about race and equality, and to foster positive change for LJMU students, staff and the wider Liverpool community.

Monica is partnered with Laura Bishop, Pro Vice-Chancellor in the Faculty of Science. Monica says: “I am delighted to be part of this exciting initiative with LJMU, who are demonstrating their commitment to proactive inclusion and improving community links in the city. I’m looking forward to working with Laura over the coming months.”

As the programme launched, LJMU Vice-Chancellor and Chief Executive Mark Power, said:

“The launch of the programme amongst Liverpool City leaders is in recognition of the diverse cultures and communities that make up our student and staff population and we are keen to build upon our work with community leaders, to continue to create a more inclusive environment.”
