Union Awards 2020

These awards recognise individuals who have given significant and repeated outstanding contributions to the student experience at Imperial and the life of Union members throughout the year. There are three main criteria that count towards an award: depth (significance of contributions), breadth (range of contributions and how widespread their effect is), and time commitment. The greater the volume of all three dimensions together, the higher the award received.
