“Making dreams a reality is a common thread throughout the lives and stories of our Alumni Awards finalists,” said Elizabeth Tresnan, campaign director for Study UK, at North American awards ceremony at The British Embassy in Washington DC.
The British Council’s Study UK Alumni Awards is celebrated in multiple locations throughout the world, with finalists then eligible to apply for the worldwide award in one of the four categories: Business and Innovation, Science and Sustainability, Culture and Creativity, and Social Action.
Tresnan said the awards – held on February 17 – offer alumni the opportunity to not only be recognised for their achievements, but also, “a chance to continue to build professional networks, strengthen relationships with the UK and UK universities, and to benefit from international development opportunities.”
As each finalist was announced, their accomplishments in their respective fields were showcased.
