Vice Chancellor to Receive Lincoln Civic Award 2019

University of Lincoln Vice Chancellor Professor Mary Stuart has been announced as the winner of this year’s Lincoln Civic Award by the City of Lincoln Council.

Mary will receive the accolade from the Mayor of Lincoln, Councillor Keith Weaver, at a special ceremony in the city’s Guildhall on 4th April.

The announcement comes after the Lincoln Civic Award trustees considered a range of nominations in respect of individuals and organisations working in a variety of sectors. They decided Mary’s nomination stood out, recognising the contribution the University has made to the city and region under Mary’s leadership over the past decade.

Civic Award Trustees Chairman Henry Ruddock said: “We were delighted to receive a real variety of nominations for this year’s Lincoln Civic Award and we are thrilled to be presenting it to Professor Mary Stuart in recognition of her role in diversifying the University, putting Lincoln on the wider map and creating a boost to the local economy.”

The Lincoln Civic Award is awarded annually to an individual or an organisation for an achievement which has, in the opinion of the Trustees, brought credit to the City of Lincoln. The accolade was first presented in 1967.
