With well over a century of history and change, the first International Women’s Day (IWD) was held in March 1911.

IWD isn’t country, group or organisation-specific. It’s a day of collective global activism and celebration that belongs to all those committed to forging women’s equality.

This year’s them is ‘Inspire Inclusion’.

On an individual basis, IWD gives us the opportunity to consider how we value and seek out the inclusion of women and girls. Additionally, we can share insights as well as support and encourage others to re-think the way they react to and treat others.

Students crowded the tables of organisations such as JCSupply, Grifco PR, Chiswick Cinema, and HBL leisure, discussing their studies and where they wanted their future careers to lead.

They were also given pivotal advice when it comes to interviews. Students learnt that a willingness to do the job, enthusiasm, and confidence were some of the biggest success factors when it comes to landing a job.

A big thank you to all the organisations who attended on the day. Your time, knowledge, and advice have been invaluable.

Founded in 2010, RIASA, the first of its kind, offers both international and UK students the chance to study for the world’s only US/UK accredited degree whilst living the dream, developing their soccer game and playing on UK soil.

The partnership with ‘The Whites’ will see Bolton Wanderers’ FA and UEFA qualified international coaching staff work closely with the RIASA team, sharing best practice and developing partnership opportunities for students and staff.

In addition, students will be given the opportunity to play games against Wanderers’ age-appropriate opposition and, during the off-season, the chance to play one game on the grass at the Toughsheet Community Stadium.

Neil Hart, Chief Executive Officer at Bolton Wanderers said; “Following 12 months of discussions, we are delighted to launch this new partnership with RIASA.

“An impressive and long-standing educational academy programme, RIASA offers something unique to students from all over the world, and we are pleased we can support their mission to offer the very best in player experience here on UK ground.

“We look forward to working closely with the team and eventually welcoming the students to the Toughsheet Community Stadium”.

Mark Ellis, Academy Director at RIASA said;

“I am thrilled to partner with an iconic club like BWFC and excited for the further opportunities this will bring for RIASA students.

“It is my priority to keep adding to the quality of the programme and create more success stories like former students Nahki Wells, presently at Bristol City and Kyril Louis-Dreyfus, now owner of Sunderland FC. I believe partnering with Bolton will give us opportunities like these.”

RIASA will also see the launch of its London-based programme in September this year which will give more opportunities still for student/athletes to experience studying at Richmond American University London and playing in the capital city with access to the highest number of league clubs in the country!

Applications for RIASA for the academic year 2024/25 are open now for international students until the end of June 2024. For UK students, applications close at the beginning of August.

The lecture, Faith, Folk and the Far Right: Racist and anti-racist Heathenry and occultism in the UK, was based on Dr Alessio’s forthcoming book which examines extremist Heathenry and occultism in the UK and how anti-racist Heathens act to counter this discourse.

Dr Alessio also presented a paper this week at the British Commonwealth and Postcolonial Studies Conference in Savannah, Georgia, US. Entitled, Rethinking Agents of Empire: the Role of the United Nations in the Indonesian Occupation of West Papua, Professor Alessio’s paper focused on an article coming out shortly in the Journal of New Zealand and Pacific Studies.
