Every year, over 400 students give their time for free to ensure their class has a voice or to run an activity, leisure or academic group. We think this is pretty cool and that their efforts should be recognised and the Awards aim to do just that!
Both staff and students are invited to enter nominations for their inspiring Rep or student-led Group and a panel is then put together to select those that stand out.
All students and shortlisted students will then be invited to join us for the UCSU Ball & Awards which is usually held just before the Easter break.
GROUPS
Engage Award
This award aims to recognise those groups that thrilled, motivated and actively engaged their members throughout the academic year.
Activate Award
This award aims to recognise groups that have shown growth and stability over the years as well as continued, sustained activity.
Inspire Award
This Award was set up to celebrate those groups that would go the extra mile to inspire their members and other groups.
Activities Officer Special Mention Award
Members' Choice
This is exactly what it says on the tin, the award gives group members an opportunity to appreciate their own little community and its achievements.
Lead award
UCSU's Student Group Awards recognise Groups whose activities make a real contribution to improving the experience of UoC students. The Lead award rewards the effort of an individual Group Leader who has excelled in this.
