Celebrate - Partnership Awards 2023

Let's celebrate

Year after year, students continue to face challenges, such as tackling online learning, industrial action, and the cost of living crisis. But that doesn’t stop them getting stuck into student life, achieving big things and making difficult times a bit better for their fellow students.

With awards to honour clubs and societies, sportspeople, halls of residence, and staff and students, every spring we celebrate the people and initiatives that make Leeds so brilliant – and we want you to get involved. Nominate your friends, colleagues and mentors, and cheer your peers who are up for awards!

The Partnership Awards

The Partnership Awards celebrate students and staff who have enhanced the Leeds community by embodying the values of The Leeds Partnership. We want to acknowledge the people who make the Leeds learning experience so brilliant.

From Equality and Inclusion to Feedback and Assessment, the Partnership Awards recognise the people who put their heart into representing, supporting, and empowering everyone in the Leeds community.

Nominations close: Friday 28 February

Shortlist announced: Monday 21 April

Partnership Awards: Tuesday 6 May

Celebrating our Student Volunteers 

We know that University of Leeds students like to make a difference, and one of the ways you do this is by volunteering.

Whether this is through a Club & Society, at a local school or charity, your volunteering really does have a positive impact on the lives of others and the surrounding community.

Celebrate - Volunteer Spotlight 2023

Intercultural Ambassadors Showcase

The Intercultural Ambassadors Showcase celebrates the achievements of student ambassadors who’ve dedicated their time and enthusiasm to developing their intercultural skills and helping others benefit from our diverse university community.

We’ll showcase the experiences of students who trained and volunteered together on the Intercultural Ambassadors Programme this year, and the exciting intercultural projects they ran to inspire and connect students and local people.

We’ll be celebrating our ambassadors and finding out about the impact of their projects on the many people, young and old, who’ve taken part.
