Diverse Ethnicity Coaching
“Being surrounded by people from similar backgrounds and experiences builds this comradery and comfort in knowing that you’re not alone. It’s easier to open up and relate to one another as you have better understanding of their situation”

What is Diverse Ethnicity Coaching?
Diverse ethnicity coaching is a specialised support that aims to build a sense of allyship, developing strategies to help students focus on their studies and exams.
UMO’s approach to coaching identifies the challenges that ethnic diverse students face such as institutional racism, micro aggression, transition to university, inferiority complex, managing family expectations and the lack of access to student support.
Mentors and students work in collaboration to gain insight into difficulties that impact the student’s personal growth.
What do Coaching Sessions involve?
Coaching aims to explore racially based barriers and experiences and helps to develop skills to better manage the structural bias of academia.
During the sessions the student will be able to rebuild their self-esteem, unlock their talents and proactively be encouraged and motivated to create change.
The UMO workforce is hugely diverse, highly qualified and well placed to support all Diverse Ethnicity students.
