• Outstanding Volunteer Award: This individual award celebrates the efforts of student volunteers across Macquarie University and their contribution to the student experience.
• Outstanding Student Group Award: This team award recognises an affiliated student group that has made an outstanding contribution to student life at Macquarie University in 2021.

You may be nominated for the awards by your fellow students, a Macquarie University staff member, or you may choose to self-nominate.
