Lorraine Kelly, University of Dundee Rector will present prizes to outstanding students from the University's Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design at the 2004 Dundee Degree Show. Students from all schools will receive awards from the GMTV star this evening at the Dean's reception.

Lorraine will present the F & A Bradshaw Prize to Jewellery and Metal Design student, Danielle Gordon from the School of Design. Danielle's outstanding silver and ribbon-entwined pieces including rings, bracelets and necklaces could easily adorn the most fashion conscious wearer including Lorraine herself.
