Business School Partnership Awards 2022: winners and runners up
Congratulations to all the nominees, runners-up and winners of the Business School Partnership Awards 2022.
The Partnership Awards recognise the exceptional work of staff and students who truly put the Leeds Partnership into action. The Partnership is a recognition by the University and Leeds University Union, of the need for all members of the Leeds community – both students and staff – to work together to contribute to students’ sense of belonging, and to enable them to make the most of the opportunities available to them during their time here.
This year, over 100 people within our community were nominated for their outstanding partnership working. The judging panel commented on the high calibre of nominations and the innovative range of work taking place around sustainability, wellbeing, community-building and excellence in teaching and learning.
Cathy Myles, Pro Dean for Student Education, presented the awards at the afternoon ceremony on Wednesday 27 April 2022 and extended her congratulations to all nominees.
