CDN College Awards 2023
The CDN College Awards took place on Thursday 30 November at Radisson Blu in Glasgow with over 230 guests celebrating the talent, innovation and success demonstrated by our colleges, their staff and their students.
The ambition and excellence of this sector was reflected in the number of entries this year – 154 submissions, from every part of the country. All the inspirational submissions and testimonials can be viewed in the interactive guide here.
This year we warmly welcomed back the wonderful Amy Irons to take the mic as our host for the evening.
We were also delighted to hear from guest speaker Graeme Dey MSP, Minister for Higher and Further Education; and Minister for Veterans.
As well as presentation of 14 prestigious prizes, we were treated to some fabulous entertainment from New College Lanarkshire HND Music Students.
