Award winners and fellowship appointments were announced, recognising outstanding contributions to education, teaching and elevating our students' experience. Professor Louise Lutze-Mann, Professor Peter Heslin and Professor Jonathan Morris announced the awards, and Professor Merlin Crossley presented them.
