On the 2nd of April we held our annual Aber SU Staff and Students Awards. This evening was a chance for Aber SU to celebrate and thank exceptional staff members, student volunteers and departments that truly make Aberystwyth great.

The awards are now in their 8th year, and we are pleased that we received 280 nominations, ranging from students nominating their lecturers to fellow students nominating their academic representatives.

All those shortlisted and the winners are nominated, decided and awarded by Aberystwyth students – student led from nomination to presentation.
