The University Student EDI Prize, initiated and hosted by our Base for Research on Inclusion, Diversity & Equality (BRIDgE), is part of our overall strategy to build 'a better future full of possibility' (Strategic Plan 2030) and to 'support our students to thrive in life and work' (ibid).
Andrew Gower, Vice Chancellor of the University, said: "This prize is now in in its third year and is now open to all current Lincoln University students. To date, prize winners have come from the PGCE Secondary Programme; however, advocating an inclusive agenda, the BRIDgE team is keen to encourage a wider group of students to take part in this competition and so share the good work occurring across the university. This includes, for example, the 'SENDI, Inclusion and Diversity' module in Early Childhood Studies, the 'Histories of Identity' in Archaeology and the 'Understanding Educational Inequality' in Education Studies and Sport.
"To help Lincoln Bishop University achieve our goal 'of creating community and belonging through thoughtful action', could tutors please draw students' attention to the EDI prize and ask them to consider submitting an entry. Any of the BRIDgE team can be contacted for further information about this opportunity.
"Thank you for your support and I am looking forward to presenting the EDI 2026 prize to the next successful student."
