The lunch event took place at the Sir Dennis Rooke Building and was hosted by the Vice Chancellor and attended by over 170 staff and guests. The compere for the event was Pauline Matturi, a fun and friendly face many will be familiar with by attending sessions such as ‘Welcome to 新澳门彩历史开奖记录’. The student jazz band, , provided an incredible compilation of live music adding to the vibrant atmosphere of the event.鈥�
Professor Nick Jennings commented: “I am deeply impressed by the drive of our staff to continue to grow and develop. This spans across our ambitious research and innovation, a consistently outstanding student experience, alongside an equitable, diverse and inclusive staff and student body. Alongside our long-standing pre-eminence in sport, our international engagement and impact continues to grow.
"Being able to celebrate the teams and individuals that deliver these outcomes remains a personal highlight for me, so I hope you will join me in thanking and congratulating everyone who was nominated."
To recognise the nominees and winners of the Vice-Chancellor's Awards, the University has created a dedicated space outside the West Park Teaching Hub on the 新澳门彩历史开奖记录 campus. The space is made up of trees, shrubbery and seating areas, centring around a plaque (mounted on a locally sourced Mountsorrel granite) which provides visitors with more information about the Awards since they began in 2022.
