Athena SWAN Student Extra-Mile Awards

The School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences (SSEHS) has always recognised and valued students and staff as its greatest assets.

To acknowledge this formally, and in collaboration with the Student-Staff Liaison Committee (SSLC) course reps and School Presidents, the School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences hold the Athena SWAN Student Extra-Mile Awards each year.

Athena SWAN Student Extra-Mile Awards

These annual awards, launched in 2020, recognise students who have given extra to the School in a variety of categories. The awards are open to all students across SSEHS – with nominations welcomed in the separate undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate taught (PGT) categories.
