REACH Awards 2023 - York College & University Centre

Held at York Racecourse on 29th June, our York College & University Centre REACH Awards are an opportunity for us to come together to recognise both the academic and personal achievements of our students.

The ceremony provides an occasion to reward excellence and celebrate hard work, returns each year and allowing tutors to identify students who they feel demonstrate behaviours and achievements, which embody the values that define us as a college.
