    Hey all, didn't get a chance to be involved in this initiative, want to make amends next year, has anybody here done it before? If you don't manage enough hours to get an award, do those hours you volunteered got towards the next year? Thanks

    The deadline isn't until Tuesday the 31st if you still want to apply.

    Hours don't carry over to the next year, afaik. This is the first year of it.

    Fair play, good of the president to recognise the students, do ye get a medal or something? If i'm around locally for co-op next year, it's definitely something i'd have a go at.

    The following semester, no? I heard something about recipients receiving medals, guess it would be nice to given something to show for your efforts.

    Tbh, I got all the hours required through the stuff I'm involved with without having to go out of my way! Then I forgot to sign up for the bloody thing :rolleyes:
