Last Thursday evening we hosted our Volunteer Awards, which was all about coming together and celebrating the amazing contributions of you all, that give yourself selflessly to societies, events and student initiatives that help improve life on campus and beyond!
The Student Union wouldn’t be the Union you know without the efforts of numerous volunteers throughout the years. This night was all about making sure each nominee felt proud of themselves and enjoyed celebrating with their peers!
You are all a HUGE inspiration to everyone at Heriot-Watt, so keep doing what you do and encourage others to join in, because your passion and commitment is what keeps the campus going!
Below are a list of the winners, however each nominee and their touching stories that were given to us are all winners <3
