Staff and students recognised in annual awards shortlist

At the end of the academic year Cardiff University hosts the Enriching Student Life Awards to recognise and celebrate the hard work of staff and students.

This year, the School is celebrating success with two staff members and one student making the shortlist for the awards. The winners will be announced in a ceremony on Thursday 28 April 2016.

Dr Angharad Naylor, lecturer and Welsh for All Project Manager, is nominated in the ‘Welsh Education Champion’ category and Dr Jonathan Morris is nominated as ‘Most Innovative Member of Staff’. In addition, Steffan Bryn, a final year student, has made the shortlist for the ‘Honour Roll’.

Dr Jonathan Morris said: “I was delighted with the nomination and making the shortlist is an honour. I’m genuinely thankful to everyone who has voted and I look forward to celebrating in the company of my colleagues from the School of Welsh and other Schools.”

Dr Angharad Naylor added: “It’s an honour to receive this kind of recognition and I’m very grateful to everyone who voted. It has been an exciting year especially with the launch of Welsh for All last summer. I’m looking forward to the ceremony.”

Congratulation to everyone who made the shortlist and all nominees. It is good to see that the staff’s work makes a real impact on the lives of students at Cardiff University. Best of luck at the awards ceremony!

The full shortlist for this year’s Enriching Student Life Awards is available on the Student Union’s website.
