Awards won
- Phoenix Award 2024: This award goes to the committee that successfully brought back life to a pre-existing society that stopped running for some years. This society stopped running back in 2018 and we brought some life to it in February 2024.
We will be working on a hybrid basis meaning that we will provide events and sessions both on-campus and off-campus.
