One Union Awards

 

Introducing the One Union Awards!

On Saturday the 19th of April we brought together the Student Excellence AwardsClass Rep (EduRep) Awards and Society Awards into one unified celebration! This exciting new initiative was all about enhancing the recognition of our amazing students and creating an awards experience to reflect this.

Why did we changing our awards ceremonies?

  • Stronger Community & Visibility – By combining these awards, we shine a spotlight on the collective achievements of our students across all areas of university life, fostering unity and pride!
  • Enhanced Experience – A larger, more prestigious event means a truly unforgettable experience for students and the wider university community.
  • Best Practice – We hope to share the range and diversity of the work our volunteers do and where their priorities might overlap. 

From our class reps to volunteers, societies, and campaigners, we wanted to celebrate the diverse and incredible students that make St Andrews such a special place.

What Are the Award Catagories? 

Know a society that helped you discover a new passion? Know an academic representative who went above and beyond to address an issue in your school? Perhaps the work of a volunteer made you feel incredibly supported during a trying time at university. If there is any student you know that deserves recognition to all they got up to outside academics, you can nominate them for one of our awards.
