Last night, we were joined by students and staff at the Annual Students' Union Awards!

Student groups and staff bring together individuals from around the University to shape the Durham academic and broader experience to be the best it can be. This was our opportunity to honour those who helped make this happen! Whether they had campaigned for student activism, excelled in their academic interests or kept their college buzzing with events, this night was all about them!
