Nominations made voluntarily by students were based on 1:1 support that was provided either with personal tutoring, project supervision, technical or administrative support, laboratory tutoring or pastoral support. A panel met to judge the nominations and the prize was awarded to George.

George said: “It has been a pleasure helping and working with all the undergraduates. I am just very glad that the students like the demonstrating approach we are all taking in the labs and will make sure to keep it this way. We all want to do what is best for the students, their development, and their experience.“

The prize that was set up this year in the memory of Mr Allan Way.  Allan was an academic highly regarded by a number of students who studied in the Department in the 1980s and 1990s.  He was known for the support he provided to students as a tutor and project supervisor as well as someone who interacted well in the laboratories. Sadly Allan passed away in 2019 and in his honour nominations were sought from undergraduate and postgraduate taught students from the Department for The Allan Way Prize for One to One Student Support.
