Today marks a special occasion in HE - the 2026 Graduate Showcase!

Students across a range of degree courses have presented their final dissertation projects in a research conference format. Huge well done to all the students in Equine and other courses!

The high standard of projects made voting for the best poster a difficult task! Congratulations to the winner Connie Rawcliffe and runner-up Ashleigh Watkins🌟

The final award of the day is the Aspinall Endeavour Award, in memory of beloved HE Animal Lecturer Kirsty Aspinall. This award is given to a student who has shown outstanding effort and dedication to academic studies. Huge congratulations to Equine’s Sophie Melling for this achievement!🌟
