The sixth annual UCSU Success Awards took place on 30th March 2017 at the Shap Wells Hotel, near Penrith. A formal reception and three course dinner was served before the awards ceremony.

A highlight of the academic year, the event was attended by over 120 students, staff, friends and guests of the University.
