Strathclyde Business School is featured in several of the shortlist categories:

• Outstanding Contribution from a University Student – Stewart Harris. During a time of unprecedented change undergraduate student Stewart Harris, from Balloch, an MSc in Business Analysis Technology and Hospitality and Tourism Management within Strathclyde Business School and recipient of a Sandy Nairn Scholarship, has volunteered more than 200 hours of his time to help his community during a period of great need – training as a Community First Responder and subsequently an Emergency Medical Dispatcher.
• Outstanding Business Engagement in Universities – COVID-19 Modelling for NHS Lanarkshire. By combining their expertise scientists at Strathclyde and NHS Lanarkshire worked together to produce modelling to enable accurate prediction of demand for Intensive Care Unit beds during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, helping to ensure hospitals had sufficient resources to care for those in need.

Strathclyde Business School helped CHAS to develop an inclusive strategy that proactively sought out and listened to the voices of the people at the heart of its services – children with life-shortening conditions and their parents – thereby ensuring the charity continues to support families when they need it most.
