As we approach the end of another productive year of learning and teaching at UNSW, colleagues gathered to acknowledge the outstanding efforts of their award-winning peers in the 2024 Awards for Teaching.
At the ceremony, hosted at the Education Festival Finale on Wednesday 27 November 2024, more than 40 UNSW staff across categories were greeted on stage and presented with their awards by our Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Attila Brungs.
The award winners were announced by senior leaders – Deputy Vice Chancellor Education & Student Experience, Professor Sarah Maddison, Deputy Vice Chancellor Academic Quality, Professor Merlin Crossley and Pro Vice Chancellor Education, Professor Tini Mathies.
The awards celebrate the achievements of our educators and third-space professionals, and acknowledge winners for excellence in education, outstanding contributions to student learning and student wellbeing and excellence in the supervision and leadership of higher degree research. They are a testament to the dedication, creativity and passion that our colleagues offer to their students on their learning journeys, and the schemes help to celebrate how these colleagues strengthen UNSW’s reputation for academic and educational excellence.
Special congratulations were also shared for the Students' Choice Teaching Award, a unique recognition nominated and judged by the students themselves, for both academic and professional staff who have had a profound impact on their students’ learning experience. Finally, there was also a newly introduced accolade, the PASS Leader Participants’ Choice Award, which highlights the special contributions of senior students who are exceptional learning mentors to their peers.
The event was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our colleagues, and we congratulate them all on receiving recognition this year! See the full lists of winners below.
