Graduation Day 2008

On 24 July we celebrated Graduation Day with our graduates and their families. Graduates were invited to bring family and guests to have a look around the department, meet with members of staff and sample the delicious cakes and treats that were provided in the Lounge.

To make the day even more special, four outstanding students also received awards in recognition of academic excellence and outstanding contributions to departmental life. The awards were presented by Professor Phillip Wright, Head of Department.

Mr Robert Buckley-Mellor was awarded the Vacation Work Prize in Chemical Engineering and Fuel Technology. This prize is awarded to the student who receives the best report of vacation work.

Miss Bryony Hursthouse received the British Coke Research Association Prize, awarded for the best results in an examination.

Mr Kieran Robinson and Mr Benjamin Scraggs both received the Sarjant Prize for showing exceptional academic and personal promise throughout their studies.

Miss Lauren Wilkinson was awarded the Mappin Medal and a cheque for achieving the greatest disctinction in her degree classification.

Congratulations to all our 2008 graduates. We wish you every success for the future and hope that you will keep in touch. We would love to hear of your future successes!
