Student Rep Awards 2011
On Wednesday 6th April 2011 UWE Students’ Union hosted their 6th Annual Student Rep Awards at the Thistle Hotel, Bristol; with the event being attended by over 100 student reps and university staff members.
The aim of the Student Rep Awards is to formally recognise the handwork, dedication and achievements of our many student representatives involved in the student and hall representative schemes here at UWE. The event is endorsed and supported by the University and thanks to the generous contributions made by all of the University Faculties towards ceremony we were once again able to present our certificates to Student Reps, including 8 extra special awards.
