The Business School’s Professor Matt Gorton has been named Research Supervisor of the Year at the annual Teaching Excellence Awards, ran by the Students’ Union.<\/p>\n
Exceptional staff from across Newcastle University had their achievements celebrated on\u00a009 May 2019\u00a0at the awards. Hosted by Newcastle University Students\u2019 Union, the TEAs asks students to recognise the amazing achievements of staff throughout the University who have provided outstanding teaching or support.<\/p>\n
This year, NUSU received 443 nominations for the 12 categories. Winners were then announced at the awards event, with many University staff, student representatives and the students who nominated in attendance.<\/p>\n
Jonny Hall, NUSU Education Officer, said: \u201cNot only did we receive more nominations than ever before, but the quality of each nomination was inspiring. It made the shortlisting process both a difficult and daunting task, but being able to see the delight on the winners\u2019 faces made the hard work more than worth it!<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve had fantastic support from students and staff from all of our University\u2019s campuses, and we are delighted that the TEAs have been able to recognise fantastic practice right across Newcastle University. It is our students who have nominated and shortlisted the excellent entries that we\u2019ve received and I really want to thank them for their support.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jonny continued: \u201cThe teaching quality and academic support at Newcastle University is exceptionally high and we\u2019re very proud to have been able to help celebrate with outstanding members of staff once more.<\/p>\n
Each of our winners was presented with an engraved glass teapot from NUSU as a memento for their hard work. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all of the winning staff members, as well as the shortlist, and thank all the students who took the time to nominate.”<\/p>\n
We’d like to offer\u00a0a huge congratulations to Matt on this achievement!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
