Race Equality Award
Gloria Ngaiza was the Vice-President of the Black Student Society last year and now the President and GCR Black Student Co-Rep at Green Templeton College (GTC). In her roles, Gloria passionately dedicated her time to organising events that promote inclusion and diversity among Black students and the wider college and university community, such as the Black History Month celebration in October, Diversity Dinner, monthly Black student socials, movie nights and the Uncomfortable Oxford tour for students. Furthermore, she is leading the launching of a GTC Black Students Journal to document the rich history and culture of black students, alumni and academics in Oxford.
The Race Equality Award recognises students who are working to help racialised members of the University and have been involved in the fight against racism at Oxford.
Student Voice Award
Abdulazeez Imam is a representative in the Nuffield Department of Medicine Graduate Studies Committee, which oversees graduate studies for over 500 students. Together with David Cruz Walma, Abdulazeez developed a cost-of-living survey and canvassed the student body for insight on the challenges of meeting living expenses, resulting in tangible changes from university leadership, including an 11% increase in the NDM scholarship award.
The Student Voice Award acknowledges students who have amplified the students’ views and priorities through representation and campaigning on behalf of their peers.
Our warmest congratulations to you both!
