A student from Brecon, Powys, at Harper Adams University College in Shropshire has won the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society-Harper Adams Cymry Student Award for 2011.
The award, introduced in 1999, to encourage students from Wales at Harper Adams to contribute fully to developing both their academic and personal potential, goes this year to Gethin H Rees of Ysgubornewydd Farm, Ffrwdgrech Road, Brecon. He is the thirteenth winner of the prize which is promoted jointly by the Royal Welsh and Harper Adams, the largest institution of its kind in the UK.
The award recognises the student with the best academic record who has also made a positive contribution to the broader student learning environment of the college through its clubs and societies and other extra mural activities.
The award also embraces the contribution made by the student to the activities of Harper Cymry, the college-based club for students from Wales. When interviewing candidates for the award the adjudicators also look for the student who has the best thought-out career plans and potential.
