On Wednesday 28 May, Roehampton came together to celebrate the incredible achievements of its final-year students. The awards event highlighted the passion, drive, and excellence shown by our students, by highlighting their strong career readiness through community service, extracurricular involvement, part-time work, and leadership roles.
A total of 136 applications (more than double the applications received last year!) were received from students across all academic departments. Highly commended candidates were awarded for each of the eight categories, with one overall winner.
The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Jean-Noël Ezingeard, attended the ceremony to congratulate the students on their achievements. The awards were presented by Leigh Adams, Director of Student Futures, Julie Powell, Head of Careers and Employer Engagement and Indie Nizzar, Careers Adviser.
