A look back at the 2025 Student Commitment Ceremony!

News 23 May 2025

On Thursday 22 May, Avignon Université honoured students involved in artistic, sporting, civic, community or entrepreneurial projects.

The aim of this annual ceremony is to recognise and promote student commitment, a key factor in civic education and preparation for working life. Whether they are sportsmen and women, artists, elected student representatives, members of associations, ambassadors or entrepreneurs, they have all helped to promote the dynamism of the university, and have shown that being a student is not just about following courses, but also about opening up to others, often in collective activities, and promoting civic, social, environmental or cultural values... Concrete examples of innovative projects and personal and collective success, which have contributed to their academic success.

Thank you all for your energy and your initiatives... and well done to the winners!
