On November 19, our 2021 Student Experience Awards night was held online in a virtual auditorium. Not the great in-person celebration we'd originally planned, perhaps, but it was still a terrific gathering, and a fantastic opportunity to recognise the achievements of some truly dedicated, compassionate and resilient students.

The winners in our thirteen categories are below. Congratulations to all of them – and to the many others who were nominated by their friends and colleagues.
