ROYAL SET T ING FOR CUBO AWARDS
Now in its third year, the CUBO Awards return with a new category for 2014. An award to celebrate excellence in sport will debut alongside the seven other categories
THIS YEAR’S AWARDS take place on 3rd July at Royal Holloway, in the beautiful original dining hall of the 19th-century Founders Building. Since Queen Victoria presided
over the grand opening of Royal Holloway in 1886, the College continues its association with royal families today. Her Royal Highness, The Princess Royal, is often a guest in her role as the present Chancellor of the University of London. Certainly no less eminent, CUBO
members will converge upon the college for their 2014 summer conference from 2–4 July. The main event in the CUBO calendar, the summer conference provides a focal point for members to gather each year. The CUBO awards will be hosted on the second evening of the conference, following the traditional black tie gala dinner. The new award for 2014 is
designed to recognise the hard work put into providing an excellent sporting experience for students. The ethos of sport has changed a great deal in recent years; gone are the days when sporting excellence was simply about winning tournaments. This award is for programmes that have genuinely enhanced the student experience through sport. This may include: increasing
participation in sport, providing the best quality environment for sport, promoting health and well- being through sport, improving performance levels in sport, or a range of other factors that have increased student satisfaction and
