Every other year, alternating with the University-wide Diversity Awards, the MPLS division recognise staff and students who have gone above and beyond in their efforts to advance ED&I within our communities. This is an important way to showcase the incredible work that our colleagues and students undertake, alongside their research or day jobs, which may otherwise go unnoticed. We are delighted that the Department of Statistics has received 2 awards in the 2021 awards:
Best Team Effort: Mental Health Awareness Week 2021 Organisers, including Beverley Lane and Maria Christodoulou
Outstanding ED&I Champion: Beverley Lane
