Not much in life is certain. Will DUSA ever be able to properly bring back Skint? Do landlords have feelings? Will Half-Life 3 ever be released? Are we inevitably on the path to inter-imperial conflict leading to potential nuclear Armageddon? Scholars remain divided on all of these matters. There is however something we do know for sure: President's Awards Night. Here is your opportunity to nominate someone who has really made a difference. Whether they have done an outstanding job of representing your voice within the university or someone who has gone above and beyond to make your experience better, here's your opportunity to ensure they get the proper recognition they deserve.
This award goes to the School President who has gone above and beyond for the students they represented.
