The Adelaide Business School celebrated student achievements at its annual Prize and Awards Ceremony on 7 May at the National Wine Centre.

Hosts Professor Noel Lindsay (Dean of Business, Adelaide Business School, and Pro-Vice Chancellor Entrepreneurship) and Dr Tiffany De Sousa Machado (Adelaide Business School) welcomed guest speaker Nell Keyvani, Senior Program Coordinator at PwC, who presented to more than 200 Adelaide Business School staff, prize winners, sponsors, and guests.

“The prize night is one of the most special occasions in the Adelaide Business School calendar each year, where staff, students and sponsors come together to celebrate our students’ achievements,” Professor Lindsay says.
