University award nominations open
All staff are invited to nominate colleagues for two internal awards - the 2019 Chancellor’s Awards and the 2019 Principal’s Medals.
Nominations for each award close in April.
The Chancellor’s Awards
The Chancellor’s Awards were first awarded in 2003 and acknowledge staff for outstanding contributions to both teaching, research and research impact.
The awards also offer the opportunity to honour colleagues who are at an early stage of their career and showing great potential.
How to nominate
Information on the criteria and nomination process, along with the Chancellor’s Awards nomination form, can be accessed from the Chancellor’s Award webpages: The Chancellor’s Awards
Deadline: All nominations must be submitted to Heads of School by Friday 5 April 2019. School Heads will then send an approved list to Heads of College for ranking before consideration by the Selection Panel.
Winners will be publicly announced after presentation of the awards at the Chancellor’s Dinner held in the Autumn.
The Principal’s Medals
The University awards two Principal’s Medals annually.
The Principal’s Medal for Exceptional Service honours staff members or teams who have supported the University community and mission by delivering exceptional service beyond the expectations of their role.
The Principal’s Medal for Contribution to the Community recognises staff members or students who as individuals or groups have played a key role in a project that has made an impact on a community they have lived or worked in, or contributed to.
