Celebrating Our Gold Stars
At Brunel Students’ Union, we believe in recognising the students who go above and beyond to make a difference. Whether it’s championing change, supporting their peers, leading initiatives, or contributing to campus life in meaningful ways, our students are at the heart of everything we do.
This year, we are proud to celebrate a truly exceptional group. Our Gold Stars are students who have each earned over 800 points through the Union Citizenship Awards – a remarkable achievement that reflects their dedication, impact, and commitment to our community.
These six individuals represent the very best of Brunel: passionate, driven, and inspiring. Their contributions have shaped experiences, strengthened communities, and left a lasting mark on student life.
Join us in celebrating our Gold Stars and the incredible difference they’ve made.
