Winner of Platinum Hallam Award<\/strong>\"DSC00832\"<\/p>\n

Samantha Jane Logan from International Student Support and also a part-time MSc Coaching and Mentoring student will receive Platinum Hallam Award due to her volunteer work with international students. Samantha independently mentored five international students in her spare time, who were \u00a0from Vietnam, Hong Kong, Malaysia, India and China in order to\u00a0help them to settle into life in the UK and make friends. She also had a mentor on the Career Mentoring Scheme, who\u00a0helped her to prioritise her time and utilise her ideas to design\u00a0a peer mentoring scheme at her workplace called Culture Connect<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

‘Hallam Award has been a fantastic way to help me to reflect on my volunteering experiences and demonstrate the skills I have been developing along the way, while remaining focused on my career ambitions. As a result, I feel\u00a0more\u00a0confident \u00a0to articulate my abilities to future employers during interviews’.<\/em> Samantha Jane Logan<\/p>\n

Winner of Gold Hallam Award<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Guinevere\"<\/a>Guinevere Chan, a student from Hong Kong, who studies BA (Honours) Business and Human Resources has received Gold Hallam Award for participating in various volunteer activities alongside her studies such as being a mentee on the Culture Connect pilot scheme, she was a Student Rep and member of the the\u00a0International Student Standing Committee and Union Council, where she organised cultural events for home and international students called Caf\u00e9\u00a0\u00a0Cultural. Earlier in the year, Guinevere received the International Student of the Year Award from the Hallam Union and Caf\u00e9 Cultural won the Best Event of the Year and Volunteering Gold Award.<\/p>\n

‘I am really proud of my achievements. I\u00a0had a\u00a0very busy schedule with my academic course, working part-time and volunteering. Being a mentee on the Culture Connect scheme helped me to manage my time effectively and stay motivated. It also helped me to complete Hallam Award, which involves submitting reflective accounts of my volunteer work, because I had the opportunity to reflect on my skills and progress with my mentor during mentoring sessions. I recommend that students who take part in volunteer work complete Hallam Award, as it will help them to stand out to employers!’ <\/em>Guinevere Chan<\/p>\n
