Outstanding students recognised

Eight final year students have been recognised with Outstanding Student Contribution Awards, celebrating the difference they have made through their efforts outside of their studies during their time at Warwick.

Most winners collected their awards during their degree ceremony, adding another memorable moment to their special day. Congratulations to them all!

Professor Sir Nigel Thrift, Vice Chancellor, said:

The OSCAs have now been running for four years, and it’s great to see the scheme growing to a point where this year we have been able to identify eight exceptional students to receive an award. All of the nominations we received demonstrated the outstanding things that our students are doing alongside their academic studies, and it is always a pleasure to read them. Thank you to the numerous staff and students who made the effort to nominate someone to be recognised in this way. Huge congratulations to all those nominated, and to all of this year’s winners.
