I’m really excited to take the lead on this year’s Student-Led Teaching Awards! We’re lucky to have so many amazing people at the University, both teaching and non-teaching staff, who make a real difference in our student experience.
Every one of us probably has at least one staff member who has made our time here better, whether it’s through an awesome module, extra help when we needed it, or just being a great teacher. If someone like that pops into your mind, this is your chance to give them the recognition they deserve. Don’t hesitate to nominate them!Ramya Shiva - VP of Academia
