Liberal Arts News

Our Liberal Arts third- and fourth- year finalists were awarded their degrees on Wednesday 22 July 2020.

This has been a year like no other and unfortunately, we have not been able to celebrate our students' successes on campus in the usual way. However, we were keen to congratulate our students by holding a virtual graduation celebration that took place on Thursday 30 July 2020. During the celebration, our staff and students shared stories and anecdotes from over the years, and the following prizes were awarded:

• The Liberal Arts Achievement Prize: Lily Rose Fitzmaurice
• The Dissertation Prize: Hannah Davenport
• The Cathia Jenainati Prize: Ceara Webster

Congratulations Lily, Hannah, and Ceara - your hard work has not gone unnoticed and we enjoyed being able to share your brilliant achievements in this way.

We are incredibly proud of our Class of 2020 for all of their successes and for overcoming challenges throughout their time at Warwick. We hope to be able to congratulate our graduates on campus when it is safe to do so and give them the graduation ceremony that they very much deserve.

Over the past academic year, Liberal Arts students have been working with a local primary school as part of the University’s Bright Stars Programme.

Dr Bryan Brazeau (SFHEA) Senior Teaching Fellow in Liberal Arts, has recently been successful in securing funding from the Warwick International Higher Education Academy (WIHEA).

The funding will enable the creation of bridging materials to support students with the transition from first year to second year. These materials will be used in the upcoming academic year and in future years too.

The murder of George Floyd (and so many others) has affected all of us. We understand that some of you in our community have been particularly hurt by this. Racism is a systemic feature of our society, and this is not limited to what has been happening in the United States in the past few weeks and over the years.

Here in the School for Cross-faculty Studies, we are strongly against any type of racist activity and we commit to an anti-racist culture and education.
