People in Portsmouth are being invited to nominate university staff, graduates and other community members for the Vice-Chancellor's Awards for Excellence 2024.
The awards celebrate and recognise staff, alumni and members of the community who have made an exceptional contribution to the University, its values, its ambition and its success. They compliment the newly established Student Impact Awards which recognise the achievements of our students and their contributions to our city and surrounding area.
Last year, nine awards and eight commendations were granted in recognition of staff and students who made exceptional contributions to the University and the wider community through a range of activities.
The University is now accepting nominations for the Vice-Chancellor’s Awards for Excellence, seeking to recognise and celebrate the achievements of deserving staff, alumni, and community members. If you know someone who has made a significant contribution and deserves this recognition, we encourage you to submit a nomination.
The VC Awards for Excellence offer a wonderful opportunity to recognise individuals who consistently exceed expectations, both within the University and in the wider Portsmouth community.
University Vice-Chancellor, Professor Graham Galbraith CBE, said: “The VC Awards for Excellence offer a wonderful opportunity to recognise individuals who consistently exceed expectations, both within the University and in the wider Portsmouth community.
