Faculty Excellence in Teaching and Service Awards

The annual Faculty Excellence in Teaching and Service Awards celebrate excellence in teaching and/or recognise the additional service many staff provide to support student learning. They reflect appreciation of academic and professional staff who are making a difference to students and their learning experiences, and are aligned with the UWA Award for Excellence in Teaching and the Australian Awards for University Teaching.

If you know someone who deserves to be recognised for their contribution to learning and teaching within your faculty, consider nominating them for an Excellence in Teaching Award. Nominations can be made by students or staff.
