2023 CASS Award Winners Named
The 2023 College of Arts and Social Sciences (CASS) Awards for Excellence have been awarded in a ceremony at the Research School of Social Sciences building on Thursday 7 December.
Divided into three categories; education, research and professional staff, these awards highlight the achievements of those within our college and recognise their contributions to ongoing knowledge and advancement in their fields.
CASS Dean, Professor Bronwyn Parry said: “We are excited to introduce two new categories for our 2023 awards, extending the honours to recognise the outstanding work of our researchers and professional staff.
“This year we had another excellent pool of applications, and we’re confident the winners effectively demonstrate the effort and commitment brought to our college by our community.
“2023 was another fantastic year for CASS, with strides being made by our students, tutors, academic supervisors, researchers, executive and staff, so I’m pleased we could gather to celebrate and reflect.
“Please join me in congratulating the winners and celebrating the contributions they have made this year.”
