The OSCAs recognise and celebrate the outstanding contributions of Warwick's students. They not only excel academically, but also find the time to campaign for good causes, fundraise, start small business, and work with local charities.

Congratulations to Mads Hoefer on his Outstanding Student Contribution Award (OSCA) win.

Mads has been part of the student-led society Enactus. In his final year at Warwick, Mads took charge of Enactus as Vice President, making it the most entrepreneurial society of the year 2019 across all societies within the United Kingdom, awarded by Bright Network UK.

He started his own venture to solve a problem close to his heart, animal extinction. Animals Move sells sustainable t-shirts of which every single one helps to save a species from extinction, namely the black rhino, sea turtle and sloth. To progress this endeavour, Mads built international partnerships with local organisations in South America, Australia and Africa, selling shirts in over 10 countries.
