🎉 We’re delighted to announce that Lily Hickman, one of our graduates, has won this year’s prestigious Jonathan Sime Award for her outstanding undergraduate project in environmental psychology!

Her project, ‘Place Attachment and Pro-Environmental Behaviour across Place Scales: a study of home and university city among undergraduate students’, explored how students’ emotional ties to their home and university cities affect their environmental actions.

We’re incredibly proud of Lily’s success and thrilled to see her work recognised at this level.

🎓 Well done, Lily! 👏

🎉 Mae’n bleser gennyn ni gyhoeddi mai Lily Hickman, un o’n myfyrwyr graddedig, sydd wedi ennill gwobr fawreddog Jonathan Sime eleni am ei phrosiect israddedig rhagorol ym maes seicoleg amgylcheddol!

Roedd ei phrosiect, ‘Place Attachment and Pro-Environmental Behaviour across Place Scales: a study of home and university city among undergraduate students’, yn trin a thrafod sut mae cysylltiadau emosiynol myfyrwyr â’u cartref a’r ddinas lle aethon nhw i’r brifysgol yn effeithio ar eu hymddygiadau amgylcheddol.

Rydyn ni’n hynod falch o lwyddiant Lily ac wrth ein boddau’n gweld ei gwaith yn cael ei gydnabod ar y lefel hon.

🎓 Da iawn, Lily! 👏
