The annual Vice-Chancellor’s Awards for Excellence in Education are an important part of how we recognise outstanding contributions to learning at ANU. ANU has some great educators and it is wonderful that we are able to celebrate their achievements through these awards.
The overarching spirit of the Vice-Chancellor’s Awards is a collective endeavour – a shared commitment to teaching and the creation of a student experience that is truly outstanding. A special thank you goes to all candidates, regardless of the awards outcome, who can be very proud of the fact that they have been nominated by their colleagues for the award.
