Erica the Rhino and Team receive VC Award & Public Engagement Award

We were really lucky for Erica and team 😉 to win a VC award in August. The award was given for:

“the phenomenal success of both Erica herself, the team who developed and built her and their impact on the University’s reputation. The team hugely deserves an award for their ongoing tireless effort using Erica for outreach activities.”

I have blogged before about a fabulous outreach tool that Erica has been. We were very excited to be recognised for this award as it demonstrates the work we have done at a university level.

Erica was also a finalist in the National Public Engagement Awards. As well as winning the VC award, back in June Erica was also a runner-up in the National Co-ordinating Centre for Public Engagement (NCCPE) Engage Competition in the “Engaging with Young People” category. It was an honour to be nominated in a national awards. Again its nice to have our hard work recognised.
