The 2018 edition of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities Student Awards was held on Friday, celebrating the achievements of Manchester Met students. As a tradition, the event celebrated the success of a number of initiatives and projects based in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities. As well as curriculum-based projects, students at Manchester Met have have embraced opportunities to engage in extra-curricular projects and work with partner organisations across the city throughout the academic year. Students, their families, and staff members gathered at the Geoffrey Manton Building, where they were welcomed with food and refreshments and were invited to take a look at some of the nominee’s projects, showcased in the atrium. Creative Writing student Benjamin Cassidy opened the event with a poetry reading. Lisa Bach, Faculty Student Enrichment Coordinator, welcomed attendees and spoke about the importance of the ceremony. She said, “As well as providing a lasting record of this year’s students’ achievements, we hope that the awards will inspire students in future years to get involved, not only investing in their own learning and developing skills that will benefit themselves but investing in local communities.” She added: “They also aim to recognise and reward outstanding effort and showcase how our students have been able to apply skills such as critical thinking, creativity, and communication to real-life situations in order to make a difference in our local community.” This year, staff working with these students nominated candidates who stood up to them by demonstrating the best qualities and high commitment. Additionally, students were allowed to nominate and recognise their peers. Over 100 nominations were made and nine awards were given.
