The BME Mentoring Scheme (BMEMS) provides a structured programme of mentorship through which BME students at LSE can receive support and advice for their personal, academic, and professional development. The programme involves matching students with LSE alumni based on a series of characteristics and preferences. These matched mentors and mentees then meet regularly from December through to July with support from LSESU staff, including training, events, and networking sessions.
The scheme aims to create a community of BME students and LSE alumni that can draw upon each other for support and knowledge throughout their degree and beyond.
