Kent Law Campaign volunteer awarded The Chancellor’s Prize

We are delighted to announce that the Chair of the Kent Law Campaign Student Group, Emily Smith, has been awarded the prestigious Chancellor’s Prize for her outstanding dedication to the Kent Law Campaign at the recent Employability Points Scheme Rewards Ceremony.

On Monday 2nd June, the Employability Points Scheme held their annual rewards ceremony in the Grimond Building on our Canterbury campus.  The event celebrated our students’ engagement in extracurricular activities which help them to stand out to prospective employers and was attended by many students, senior staff, corporate sponsors and friends of the University.

The Chancellor’s Prize is awarded to a student who has demonstrated outstanding engagement in a University initiative and was presented by the Chancellor of the University of Kent, Dr Gavin Esler.

Emily has shown exceptional dedication to the Kent Law Campaign throughout the past academic year and led the Kent Law Campaign Student Group magnificently – through various events and other fundraising initiatives they raised an incredible £17,000 towards the Campaign.  Emily also represented the University’s student body at many high profile Campaign events and proved herself to be an outstanding ambassador for the University.

Of her achievement, Emily said: “It was an absolute honour just to be nominated for the Chancellor’s Prize and I never thought I would actually win! It meant so much to have such significant recognition of all the work I have done this year. Such a fantastic end to my time at the University of Kent.”

The Kent Law Campaign would like to congratulate Emily on being awarded this prestigious prize and thank her for her commitment to the Campaign over the past year.
