'These awards are an excellent opportunity to recognise the hard work and dedication of the University’s Professional Services and Support staff. We look forward to receiving your nomination.' — Richard Brooks, Director of Human Resources
Awards Categories
Students and staff can nominate individuals and teams from the University's Professional Services and support staff for awards in the following four categories:
- Enhancing the Student Experience
- Service to the Community and Sustainability
- Manager / Leader of the Year
- Supporting Colleagues
This year we would also like to encourage and recognise collaborative team work and will be including an 'Overall Team Award'. This will be awarded to a team of staff who have made a significant contribution to the overall success of the University during the past year, and demonstrating how they have consistently delivered best practice. Please note, this is not a category and the winning team will be selected from all team nominations received.
