It’s with great pleasure that I’d like to share with you that Royal Holloway Entrepreneurs has been awarded the NACUE Venture Creation Catalyst Award 2011 at last week’s Society Awards. This Award will join our Award from last year (Best new Society of the Year) on the wall.
The NACUE Venture Creation Catalyst award gets handed out to the society that is the most successful in motivating and guiding students to start their own enterprise.
This is a great result after a year packed with amazing Events. We’re very proud that Royal Holloway Entrepreneurs has won 2 out of the 8 Awards handed out over the last 2 years and we will be working hard to ensure that Royal Holloway Entrepreneurs continues to be an award winning society in the years to come.
NACUE is getting ready to hand out this year’s NACUE Society Awards.
If you have a few minutes to spare, we’d really appreciate it if you could take the time an answer a few questions and nominate us for the different awards that are up for grabs. It honestly won’t take more than 10 minutes and it will allow us to become even bigger and better next year!
