The College of Animal Welfare’s annual Student Awards Ceremony which took place on Saturday 8 December was a huge success.
The highly anticipated award ceremony is a celebration of student achievements over the last year, not only at our centres, but also students who are learning in their work place all over the country. The awards recognise individual hard work, dedication and personal achievements.
This year the awards were presented by Professor Sue Gregory from the Royal Veterinary College in Potters Bar. Professor Gregory was appointed the worlds’ first Professor of Veterinary Nursing in 2008 and oversees the Royal Veterinary College’s veterinary nursing programmes in both the UK and in Hong Kong.
The Awards Ceremony is one of the biggest highlights of the year with all winners being presented with a commemorative trophy during the ceremony at our centre in Godmanchester, Cambridgeshire. A great day was had by all with friends and family sharing in the success of their loved ones.
Congratulations to all our winners – we wish you lots of luck and success for the future!
