The SU Awards Season recognises student engagement with the Students’ Union over the past year. This year we hosted a special ceremony in Scarborough celebrating both student and staff achievements. Winners of selected awards have been invited to a dinner in Coventry in April to wrap up the group-wide awards season with one final celebration.

There were a variety of awards available which individuals could nominate themselves, or others, for. The ceremony took place on Tuesday 25 March and nominations were open from 21 February to 5 March.

Shortlists and winners can be seen below and photos from the event can be seen here.
