Lancaster University Societies Awards 2022 nominations shortlist
In lieu of the results event tomorrow night, here is a definitive lift of all of this year’s nominees
This year, Lancaster University Students’ Union has run the first-ever society awards.
The “celebration” was announced in November 2021 by current VP Societies & Media, Dom Casoria.
The event acts to observe all of the hard work that Lancs societies are putting in throughout the year.
The announcement Instagram post read: “Launching the first-ever societies awards! Think glitter, champagne, suits and gowns for a night to recognise amazing work our societies have done throughout the year. This is going to be a special celebration. Please nominate yourself now!”
Students were welcomed to nominate societies they believed were going the extra mile across various categories, including “Event of the year” and “Fundraising and Volunteering”.
