Every year the Students’ Representative Council hosts the Student Teaching Awards (aka the STAs): awards that recognise and celebrate the incredible efforts staff and students put towards their teaching, support, and representation.
This year, we hope the STAs will help recognise the challenges students and staff are facing in their learning and teaching experience and how members of the University community have gone above and beyond to overcome these.
Students are able to nominate staff who have supported them, who have excited them through their teaching, who have been great in helping them advance in their learning, as well as students who have been incredible in representing them, and many more categories.
We are delighted to have received over 1,100 nominations between November 16th and February 26th. From these nominations a shortlist was created, and on March 25th the winners of each award category were announced via the GUSRC Facebook page. The award ceremony can be watched back in two parts on our YouTube channel. A full list of the nominees can be found below, with the winners underlined.
