On the 24^th June, George Hones, LSU’s first ever Postgraduate Executive Officer, hosted LSU’s first ever Loughborough Postgraduate Awards! The evening provided a night of reflection and celebration of the outstanding achievements of the postgraduate community and the staff that have supported them over the last year.

In total 14 awards were up for grabs and it was great to hear that so many of our Doctoral Researchers had not only been nominated but also shortlisted!

Whilst we don’t have the space in this blog post to mention all those nominated for an award (there were loads!), we wanted to give a special mention to those who were shortlisted and those who won on the night – a huge well done to all!
