Alumni Awards 2022 winners

After holding our Vice Chancellor's Outstanding Alumni Awards virtually last year due to the pandemic, we were delighted to welcome alumni back on campus on Thursday 28 April for the first time since 2018.

It was an opportunity to celebrate their achievements and recognise the incredible talent and knowledge that is so clearly evident amongst our Alumni Network.

The ceremony was held at our Chelmsford campus, and was compered by Professor Yvonne Barnett, Deputy Vice Chancellor (Research and Innovation). During the course of the ceremony, we celebrated nine winners and ten runners up.
