They currently oversee a small committee and are an exceptional communicator with the Students&#8217; Union, their peers and Department. I have been impressed with the numerous events they have organised which includes both professional\/academic and social opportunities for students in their department. They have organised an upcoming Yorkshire 3 Peaks 2 day hike for around 40 people alongside the regular coroner&#8217;s inquests, professional training, short hikes and Otley Runs.<\/div>\n<div class=\"ewa-rteLine\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ewa-rteLine\">Balancing this alongside their studies is a fantastic feat and has been the most active student leader I have supported this year.<\/div>\n<p><b>What was the impact?<\/b><\/p>\n<div class=\"ewa-rteLine\">Through the events they have organised they have been able to build a strong community of Paramedic students in the university to give them additional social and professional opportunities. They also have a great working relationship with the previous year&#8217;s committee to learn from their strengths and weaknesses to continue improving the society&#8217;s offer.<\/div>\n<p><b>How it inspired others<\/b><\/p>\n<p>They are a great role model and case study for their peers on the scope of what can be achieved as a committee members. As an SU, there are varying levels of engagement from students and they are a perfect example of how committed they can be and make a positive difference for others around them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Awarded for demonstrating Outstanding leadership in their role within an academic society.\u00a0 Presented by Dr Alison Purvis &#8211; Associate Dean Teaching &amp; Learning College of Business, Technology &amp; Engineering What they did: The nominee took it upon themselves to create a new Student Society for the Course.
