Prizes
Engineering Prize
RICHARD JONES, a Mechanical Engineering student at Sussex, hit the big time with his third year project this year. The project, which was on fluid flow in neo-natal respiratory support systems, won the first prize for the National Biomedical Engineering Project Award. A thrilled Richard was presented his prize at Kings College, London, where he also received £500 from the award organisers: the Institute of Mechanical Engineers. Professor Alan Turner (ENGG) described Richard work as "better than most MPhils." Needless to say Richard also won the Sussex Final Year Engineering Prize. Biology Prize
This year saw the introduction of the Dean's Prize
for exceptional performance in Biological Sciences. The prize is awarded
to a BIOLS finalist who achieves an outstanding level of performance,
equivalent to a Starred First. The prize this year was presented by
the Dean of BIOLS, Chris Darwin, to Whistler Prize
This year's Whistler Prize has been awarded to CCE student SHARON HALL for her essay on the parish of Glynde. The competition, which is open to all Sussex students, was set up in memory of the late Hugh Whistler JP, FZS, who had special interests in ornothology. The writer of the best original essay on Natural History or Archaeology receives £100 and a certificate. New Poetry Prize
A new poetry competition is being launched this term in memory of Christopher Johnson (EAM 1963-66 and PGCE 1967-68) who died earlier this year. The winning poems will be read at a poetry event in which Tobias Hill, who is also judging the competition, will read from his own work. In addition the authors of the top two poems will receive £200 and £100 prizes. The closing date is 15 November, so don't delay.
