An award that supports students from underrepresented backgrounds has received a touching backing to ensure it continues for future generations.

The Mel Joyner Award supports students from underrepresented backgrounds at the University of Plymouth – and is given to applicants who demonstrate how they have contributed to University projects and initiatives.

Established in memory of a much-loved member of staff who put students at the heart of her work, Mel’s award was initially backed by her family and friends when it was set up in 2019.

Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting six of our Agent Partners right here in Plymouth! 🌊
While our larger 50-partner conference was postponed due to the ongoing situation in the Middle East, we were grateful for the chance to spend quality, focused time with this smaller group. It was the perfect opportunity to showcase the very best of University of Plymouth life. The highlights included a coastal boat tour exploring Britain's Ocean City, an immersive visit to the National Marine Aquarium, a classic British Afternoon Tea (an essential experience!), topped off with an amazing energy at our Open Day on Saturday!
