Go Green Award Success
GO GREEN
The Students' Union and UWE Bristol have triumphed at the most prestigious sustainability awards ceremony in the education sector, the International Green Gown Awards!
INTERNATIONAL GREEN GOWN AWARDS SUCCESS
The International Green Gown Awards recognise exceptional sustainability initiatives being undertaken by universities and colleges. The Awards cover all aspects of educational institutions – from their teaching and research, leadership, buildings and food to how students can benefit the quality of life in the communities around them.
This year the university was highly commended in three categories:
Thomas Haines: "To achieve an EAUC Highly Commended Green Gown Award in the Student Sustainability Champion category has undoubtedly been one of the standout highlights of my time at university, and has been a testament to the work that I have completed over the past two years with the help and assistance of many people within both UWE & The Students' Union at UWE. The award process has allowed the highlighting of my personal progression - both academically and otherwise - as a student within the Students Union at UWE, from a student volunteer and eventual project leader of several projects, to my election and subsequent year as the Union’s Sustainability Officer – leaving that role with a new Sustainability Committee, before finally expanding my knowledge and skills to the wider Bristol areas as a research intern for Bristol Green Capital Partnership."
