Student AchievementS
A s a university core value, student-centeredness is a major focus of the Cave Hill Campus and students continue to be one of our most valued group of stakeholders. The Campus therefore continued its tradition of acknowledging the achievements of our students through the award of various scholarships and awards, several of which were in partnership with our valued, generous and committed benefactors. Students showcased their diverse skills and talents in academia and beyond, and their accomplish- ments throughout the academic year under review, have made the Campus community truly proud. They were celebrated in various ways with several ceremonies held in their honour as forms of recognition for their efforts. The competencies and achievements of Cave Hill students were recognised even beyond the Campus, as some students were awarded various external awards and were provided with opportunities to showcase their talents to wider audiences.
