Beatriz and Ioana win the 2021 Director’s Award for Public Engagement
Congratulations to Unit students Beatriz Silveira de Arruda and Ioana Grigoras on co-winning the Director’s Award for Public Engagement for 2021.
The Award is given annually, on the basis of nominations made by Unit members, to recognise and celebrate the exemplary contributions of individuals or a small collective to the Unit’s extensive Outreach Programme.
Beatriz's and Ioana’s Awards were announced by Unit Interim Director Professor Peter Magill at a special ceremony held last week.
Professor Magill commented “It gives us all great pleasure to reward Beatriz and Ioana in this way. Both have clearly shown strong personal commitments to public engagement, successfully delivering a number of activities in Oxford and beyond. Beatriz has taken the Unit’s outreach programme as far as Brazil, and Ioana is commended for her creative use of digital media for wider impact.
