“The Athlete Angel Social Media Challenge is designed to help students create interesting and engaging social media content for new and existing students. In this, it’s third year, the quality and standard of content has been exceptional and pays tribute to the imagination and talent of UEA students across the 58 sports clubs. We are proud to with the UEA and humbled by the hard work, attitude, commitment and vision of students and staff over the past six months. This has, by far, been the most impressive year with close to 850 pieces of notable content and campaigns such as BUCS Take a Stands on Sexism, Love Your Leo and Every Body is a Pole Body, alongside ideas such as highlighting the Walking Trails, raising money for local charities and the memorable So You Think You Can Cheer Dance evening. This and other content left Athlete Angel staff delighted and amazed on a daily basis. ”
