I attended the MedSoc Spring Ball on 6th<\/sup> May.\u00a0 I was advised that the dress code was \u2018summer chic\u2019, or \u2018what you might wear at a wedding\u2019, and had been asked to present certificates to the winners on the Dean\u2019s List.<\/p>\n

There was something of a wedding reception feel on approaching the marquee on Stoneham Park on a sunny, early summer evening \u2013 and the large, white Hollywood-style letters, MEDSOC, by the entrance added a distinctive touch.<\/p>\n

Besides an excuse for a great party (and it was), the evening was an opportunity to celebrate some outstanding achievements.\u00a0 I take immense pride in seeing Southampton medical students graduate as enthusiastic, well-prepared and inspiring new doctors.\u00a0 Our students also pursue a range of other activities \u2013 and these extra-curricular activities aren\u2019t always widely recognised.\u00a0 That\u2019s why we created the Dean\u2019s List.<\/p>\n

The nominations for awards demonstrated the breadth and depth of talent in the medical student community.\u00a0 From the Moosemen rugby team to the Bluetits netball team, from the Southampton Inspire Academic Society to the Medics Revue, from WAMSoc (Widening Access to Medicine Society) to the JamSoc jazz band, and many other individuals, teams and societies, our students make a huge contribution to enhance academic and social life in the Faculty, University and wider society.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s all the more remarkable that this is achieved alongside the rigorous academic demands of a full undergraduate Medicine curriculum.<\/p>\n

Congratulations again to all those who were nominated \u2013 and particularly to the winners on the Dean\u2019s<\/p>\n
