My name is Salma and I'm a criminology and forensic psychology student and I'm your new ethnic minority officer!! How exciting, I hope to represent our POC students here at Chichester and make your study more comfortable in this old town. Please feel free to email me about any queries and I'll support you in any way I can :)
