RCVS website wins public choice award in pan-European digital awards ceremony
The new RCVS website has been recognised for digital excellence in the Lovie Awards.
RCVS Student Community Award for Vet Students
This award was first bestowed in 2021, and recognises veterinary students who have made a real effort to support their fellow students and the wider veterinary school community. It may also reward someone who has contributed to the wider local community within which the academic environment is based.
A wide range of different types of activity could be recognised by the award, for example, a specific initiative that the student has developed; personal support they have given over a sustained period (please do not include personal information about recipients of support that may be confidential); a demonstrable civic awareness in the way they have conducted themselves in student politics; an outreach programme to the local community; contribution to the governance of the student body etc.
This is a new award, with the previous Student Community Award now being split into separate awards for veterinary students and student veterinary nurses.
Who can be nominated?
Nominees for the award can be any student who is enrolled on an RCVS-approved veterinary course, or studying for a relevant postgraduate veterinary qualification.
How to make a nomination
Nominations for the RCVS Student Community Award for Vet Students can be made by anyone excluding RCVS Council and VN Council members and close relatives (including spouses) of the nominee. They do not need to be an MRCVS or RVN.
This award is also open to self-nomination. If you are self-nominating, please be sure to complete this form in the first person, for example, “I have…”.
When do nominations open?
Nominations for the 2027 awards are now open and close at 5pm on Monday 11 January 2027.
