The Award
Each year, Keele University Postgraduate Association (KPA) celebrates the remarkable achievements of its postgraduate students through the Bob Beattie Postgraduate Recognition Awards. These awards honour those who go above and beyond in supporting their peers, contributing to postgraduate life, and demonstrating significant kindness and generosity.
Recognising Natasha's Contributions
This year's 'Highly Commended Bob Beattie Postgraduate Recognition Award' goes to Natasha, a Rheumatology trainee at MPFT currently undertaking a PhD at Keele University. Alongside her training and studies, Natasha is an active participant in the postgraduate community at Keele.
Her peers highlighted her unwavering dedication and support in their nominations:
"I am nominating Natasha due to her unerring contribution to the KPA community. She has attended the KPA study sessions regularly and provided academic support to Masters students and PhD students alike, sharing research skills, tips, hints, and general advice surrounding life at Keele."
"Natasha is a person with a kind heart. She has been part of almost all the study sessions on Thursdays and guided new students about different research sources or assignments. Natasha has also been my personal emotional support when I used to feel low."
Celebrating Kindness
The Bob Beattie Postgraduate Recognition Awards celebrate the spirit of community and support at Keele University. Students like Natasha, who go above and beyond to help their peers, exemplify the values Bob Beattie cherished. Their actions ensure Keele remains a nurturing and supportive environment for all.
