Blues and Golds
The annual Blues and Golds Awards recognise LU students who have shown determination to succeed, willingness to embrace personal growth and generosity in their contributions to society.
Blues are awarded to students who have achieved athletic and sporting excellence, while Golds are awarded to students who have given to their communities by demonstrating cultural excellence or service excellence.
