Nominate students and staff for University awards
Students are invited to nominate candidates for the 2019 Principal’s Medals and the 2019 Chancellor’s Awards.

There are two categories in the Principal’s Medals awards:
- The Contribution to the Community Award recognises individuals or a team of up to four staff or students who’ve delivered exceptional ‘hands-on’ service to a community outside the University.
- The Exceptional Service Award recognises an individual or a team of up to four staff members who have exceeded their roles in providing extraordinary service to the University community.
