Global Community
For making a significant contribution to growing an inclusive community of students, staff, and alumni.
Eduarda Castro
Eduarda goes above and beyond in her role to look after the incoming exchange students to Loughborough Business School. She ensures that we work with the International Student Experience Team and other Student Services to ensure that our students receive expert signposting to give them the best advice, guidance and experience during their time with us.
International Student Registration Team (SRO)
A student’s journey at the University officially begins once they complete the registration process. For international students, this process is often more complicated. To ensure their smooth transition, the SRO team organises the International Registration event. But the International Registration event is not just about the paperwork. It is often the first in-person interaction many international students have with the University. For some, meeting a staff member or fellow student from their home country can provide reassurance and make them feel less isolated.
Gagan Kapoor
The University is a diverse community and food plays an important role in bringing people together. Even the briefest look at the typical hall menu will show the lengths Gagan and the team go to in order to provide healthy, sustainable food catering to a range of cultures (typically seven or eight cuisines a week). Gagan and his team go out of their way to facilitate diverse celebrations centred on food; from Eid and Diwali, through to Chinese New Year celebrations.
PhD Student Social Network
PhDSSN (PhD Student Social Network) has played a vital role in fostering connections among PhD students across the University. Through organizing a wide range of cultural, sports, and social activities, PhDSSN has enriched the campus life of doctoral students, helping to build a supportive and inclusive community. Their efforts have not only alleviated the isolation often experienced during doctoral studies but also promoted cross-disciplinary collaboration and personal well-being.
