Student Awards

Achievements and contributions by graduate students were recognised at the Graduate Student Townhall held on 5 October 2018.

Student Service Award

The Student Service Award was presented to members of the Graduate Student Association for the contributions they made to the graduate community.

Formed a year ago with the vision to build a platform for technically and socially competent leaders to serve the graduate community, these group of young leaders, together with the support of their sub-committee members, have spent time and effort to plan and execute a wide array of events that include the Grad BBQ, PhD Movie Screening and academic dialogue. They have also represented the graduate community and worked in collaboration with the Office of Graduate Studies to improve on different aspects of the graduate student life.
