 So today is the day of the extra mile awards at Birmingham City University. So first thing's first, what do you wear to the extra mile awards? So now I need to have a look through my wardrobe. I've showered, my hair is ready. I just need to pick an outfit, which is probably the hardest bit. So let's take a look inside my wardrobe. This is gonna be horrendous. Don't judge me on my wardrobe, okay guys? I think I've got a bit of a problem. So let's have a look what I can wear. So do we go smart casual? Do we go casual? Do we really dress up? What do we wear? Personally, I don't think I'm gonna wear jeans, but if I did wear jeans, I would probably wear jeans and maybe a little suit jacket. So I have got smart jeans and I've got a suit jacket that I might wear with my jeans, but I'm not going to wear that today. I have got a dress that I could wear. This is the shirt I wore last year to the extra mile awards. I had a long dress shirt with just some black leggings. And this is it, a green suit jacket. It's got some really nice silk pockets and silk buttons. I've got a really nice blouse, got a lovely black detail on the collar and some suit trousers to match. These are skinny trousers. Hopefully, gonna look all right. Be really exciting to see what everyone else is wearing, what people have decided to wear for the event and just to see what they've done this year with the food and the drinks and the setting. It's gonna be amazing. So we're here. We've arrived at the extra mile awards. Everybody's just setting up and we've got our very own red carpet. You couldn't be here tonight, but wanted to say a few words. What's up, my BZU family? What's up, my BZU family? What do you have on your board? Sorry for the late nights. Well, I wanted to pass on my congratulations before we've ever made a make this one. The extra mile awards. Our university is filled with some amazing people, but you guys, you guys, we are a criminal crowd. And whether you're in a war or not, just know that someone out there thinks you're smashing it. So eat, drink, celebrate and remember that your hard work got you here. Have a Boston night. Ta-ra! Follow that. Okay, so let's start with the obvious. Thank you all for coming out tonight. I was amazed as I came upstairs to see such a great turnout. It does, of course, help if we offer free drink and food. But I am sure you would have been here anyway. I've really only got one point to make, and many of you all have heard me say this before. As a university, we're a people business. We're about people, that's what we're here to do, educate our students and the way that we do that is through the diligence of our academic community and the enormous hard work that we get from everyone across the university who supports that front-line activity from the academics. And this evening is about celebrating people. And one of the things I felt last year when I came and did the first of these in my time here as Vice-Chancellor was just how special it was that this was an event that was done jointly with the student union and which enabled us to recognise that we're not a number of different communities within the university. We are one community. We are one BCU. The highly-commended personal duty that is... Thank you, thank you, thank you very much. Gemma Jensen. Woo! The award is... I'm going to have to do that. The percentage of this... The student representative here on the board is... Kevin! Islam Issa. That's how it's possible. The behind-the-scenes stuff is... Adam Davis. The present year award is... Hammer Davis. The FTSC nursing assistant. The team of the award is... Bill and Kate. Describe their nominators as inspirational in their own way. I'd like to invite them all to come stage for me now. But before we read the list, Apologist forgets any names wrong. You might not have a bit of an accent. So, from ADM... ...who is an out-of-the-earth student who was hired, who has really stuck their point out. We won! We won! Are we all surprised? Very very surprised. I cried when I'm a Rewan. I know, and I nearly cried when Claire won because, of course, she did the right thing and mentioned a recent loss of a student, but also acknowledging how stressful a nursing course is. So, I'm a surrogate mum, so I'm really proud of her. You cannot come to the extra mile of the world without grabbing the amazing food from the food stalls. So, that's it, guys. I am knackered. I'm home. I'm in bed. I've had the best day ever. It's been an amazing day. Really, really amazing to see all of the people that won the awards. It's fantastic. Congratulations to every single one of you, but for now, I'm going to sleep. Night, guys.
