Events Awards Success

28 September 2013

The Design Team are celebrating after picking up a Commendation on Thursday evening at the Scottish Event Awards.

Back in July we received a nomination in the 'Best Educational Event' category for our sell-out One Night Stand graduate show at the Traverse. Our event team - comprising the design tutors, HND students Ryan Allan and Byron Abbot, plus mentor Iain Lauder - accompanied Neil Manning, Programme Leader for Art & Design in Creative Industries, to the Crowne Plaza in Glasgow for the ceremony. Check out the full results at the SEA website.

The HND Graphic Design course has two further opportunities to win important educational awards later this year. We've been named finalists in the Innovation Award category (for our Mentoring Programme) at the SQA Star Awards, and have also been shortlisted for a Learning & Teaching Award (for our course induction strategy) at the College Development Network. Both awards ceremonies will be held in November.
