This annual celebration recognises the achievements of Postgraduate students throughout the year - for going above and beyond to support students, contributing to Postgraduate life at Keele and showing significant kindness and generosity to others.

 

 Who was Bob Beattie?  

Bob Beattie first came to Keele in 1965 as the Psychology Department’s first lecturer in Clinical Psychology. Bob was, for many years, a mainstay of the KPA Clubhouse, offering informal counselling and advice to many students. After his passing in 2015, the Clubhouse honoured Bob with a sketch portrait that sits above his spot in the KPA and the association honours him, every year by celebrating deserving students with the ‘Bob Beattie Postgraduate Recognition Awards’.

​

Do you know someone who has gone above and beyond to support students or contribute to the Postgraduate Community at Keele? Has someone inspired you, shown you great kindness or generosity? Why not nominate them for an award?
