The University of York’s Nightline service has won a national award for ‘Best New Initiative.’
Nightline is a national corporation operating at over 40 UK universities. York’s service was shortlisted for seven Nightline awards, going on to win Best New Initiative. The award was presented at the National Nightline Annual Awards, which rewards university services that have “done something exceptional within the past year.”
York Nightline was also shortlisted for the Nightline of the Year award.
The award for Best New Initiative was won for Nightline’s expansion into the Heslington East Campus and their new Monday drop-in service in the Goodricke Nucleus.
Nightline believes that with the student’s focus edging further towards the new campus, it was important for them to have their “foot in the door”. York Nightline hope to eventually have two support flats there, like the one pictured below in Wentworth.
The Nightline co-ordinator commented that “all of us are incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved on Hes East Campus and equally proud of winning the award nationally. With help from the University, we intend to improve the service for students on the new campus.”
