Accolades: Sonya and Harry

Published: Wednesday, 11 January 2012

I'm so proud of Sonya Chan and Harry Eakins, who were both recognised by their faculty at Imperial College for Services to the Community.

Sonya Chan served as the Imperial College Robogals President for a couple of years before taking the reins of Robogals UK Director.

Harry Eakins was an eager member of mew in its first year, before rehauling the club and renaming it Imperial College Robotics Society and growing that through his keen passion for robotics.

I'm so proud that my friends Sonya and Harry who have worked so hard have now been publicly recognised for their work.  Congratulations Sonya and Harry!
