We are particularly pleased because Amy is the THIRD annual winner from our School in the six years that the award has been running. Previous winners from our School are Rachel Cason (nee Wiggett) and the first winner Heather Phillips. A prize of £5000 is made and both our previous winners have made good use of the fund to continue their studies at Keele.
Alongside Matt Bedding's national award this year for his work with Keele Nightline, it is clearer than ever that our students are graduating ready to put their studies in Sociology and Criminology to good use in 'making a difference' in society. And we also know that for every exceptional individual who receives the awards and plaudits, there are many more of you who are working away at your studies while seeking to make things better in your communities, or those of people less fortunate. This makes us very happy, because it is often one of the key reasons people study our subjects: that you are enabled to put this into practice while studying with us is a testament to your commitment and to the relevance of the teaching programmes in Sociology and Criminology at Keele.
