Student Voice & Impact Awards

 

The Student Voice & Impact Awards recognise and celebrate students who advocate and create change for the student experience, including Course Reps, Execs, Activists & Campaigners.

Your Students' Union is democratic and student-led, so these awards are perfect to showcase the value and impact your involvement has to the Warwick Community. Make sure to nominate your friends, inspirational students who've really pushed for change, or campaigners that have made impactful changes on campus. This years awards have a wide variety to showcase the many kinds of ways that students can have an impact through the Students Union here at Warwick, so check below for more details!

Please include text describing the reasons why you have put in your nomination as this will be used by the relevant forums to evaluate and rank nominations.

Make sure to nominate your friends, inspirational students and campaigners that have made impactful changes on campus.

This survey is no longer available.

As well as new award categories, the event itself will be bigger and better. This year, the awards evening will be hosted by a compere, there will also be performances from our student societies and awards will be presented by our Full-Time Officers (FTOs). Award categories will cover contributions to our academic structures, our democratic processes and the final award will be the Kevin Gately Award for Student Activism, in honour of the Warwick student Kevin Gately. In order to celebrate academics and university staff who contributed to your student experience, we have brought back a series of award categories that cover your university experience.
