Pavan sent the Lancaster Tab a wonderful winner’s statement, which can be read below:

“firstly, i would like to thank every single one of you who has voted for me to win this prestigious award! i am chuffed and over the moon!

“for the past 2 years, my friends have constantly given me the biggest encouragement ever to go for it, and i felt there’s no better time than my final year! what a journey it has been, i can’t say enough how much i love this uni and all the student jobs and societies i’m involved in! 

“working at sugar can sometimes be a stressful job but i always felt the best way to do it and life in general is to be energetic, enthusiastic, and positive! 

“before uni, i was very shy and quiet and now, i’m coming out with a lot more confidence, memories to treasure forever, the best people, and a bnoc! there’s only one secret to it all, be kind

“i honestly dunno what the future will bring me, but whatever it is, it will be a dream-dream situation! either i will be getting my dream job and moving away or will be doing my dream postgrad in psychology and behaviour analytics and be here for at least another year

“i never expected this, and i’m so grateful, i would like to again thank every single one of you who voted for me, what an honour”

Congratulations to Pavan and all of our nominees this year, roll on 2027!
