Derrick Mensah is the Student Experience Officer (Community & Engagement) for King's Business School. Responsible for student engagement in our many opportunities, social activities and student mentoring programme, his mission is to help our students connect, develop their skills and find their ideal pathway.

Passionate about student experience and student engagement, he has been working in the sector over the last 5 years, aiming to develop and evidence robust and accessible systems that increases student engagement and subsequently maximises student experience.

He shares that students need community but more importantly they need connections within that community and when they engage and connect it subsequently helps develop belonging, further enabling more engagement and consequently good outcomes.

He adds that it is therefore imperative to ensure each student has a fulfilling authentic experience through positive engagement and that is what he hopes to achieve in his role supporting the work and objectives of excellent Student Experience team in the Business School.
