The Celebrating Student Achievement Formal Hall honours our students’ academic excellence and contributions to college life.
Held at Lucy Cavendish College on 12 February 2025, the evening brought together students, Fellows, alumni, donors, and staff to celebrate excellence, hard work, and the supportive college community.
Prize winners were celebrated not only for their outstanding academic achievements but also for their contributions to the arts, sports, and the wider college community.
Reflecting on the occasion, Senior Tutor Dr Jane Greatorex, said: “This event highlights the remarkable talent, dedication, and diverse achievements of our students. Whether in academic excellence, extracurricular contributions, or community impact, their success is a source of great pride for the College. We are incredibly grateful to our alumni and donors for their continued support in helping the students thrive and reach their full potential."
