THE masons have recognised a University of Chester student for his commitment to performing arts.
The University Lodge of Chester and the Association of Medical, University and Legal Lodges (AMULL) handed an award for academic and artistic excellence to Connor Elliman.
He also received a cheque to support his progression and help him through his Masters year.
The award was presented by Professor Andrew Thomas Worshipful Master of ULoC 2018 at the University’s Valedictory Prize-Giving.
Professor Thomas said: “It was a fabulous evening and Connor is a worthy recipient of the award. During his time at the university he has shown complete dedication to do well and it’s great to see this is paying off.”
Stephen Blank, Provincial Grand Master for the Province of Cheshire, added: “The AMULL’s Student Prize-Giving programme is a great example of Freemasonry working hard for the wider community, in this case in higher education.
“I would like to congratulate Connor for his achievements to date and wish him well with his future studies.”
The President of AMULL, David Williamson, said: “We congratulate Connor on his outstanding achievements and are thrilled that the University Lodge of Chester has awarded him this prize in recognition of this.”
Supported by the Association of Medical University and Legal Lodges this activity is part of a five-year commitment to support excellence in achievement by outstanding individuals.
The University Lodge of Chester hopes to attract young talent into the 300-year-old charitable organisation.
