STARS 2025

STARS is the ultimate celebration of the incredible student spirit that thrives at UEA each year. It's a chance for us to shine a spotlight on the amazing work our students do to make our university community truly wonderful in societies and members of our staff.

We have thousands of students who take the lead in their societies, organising events, lending a helping hand, working for us and so much more. Their dedication is truly awe-inspiring. While one night may not be enough to fully recognise all their hard work, our awards night is a special occasion where we come together to honour the breadth of our student community and acknowledge the impact they have made.

So mark your calendars for the 12th May in the LCR, and get ready for an evening filled with celebration, appreciation, and a whole lot of fun. STARS is not only about recognising outstanding achievements, but also about fostering a sense of togetherness and gratitude. We can't wait to gather as a university community and show our heartfelt appreciation for the fantastic contributions of these remarkable individuals.
