Student Choice Awards

UCSA Student Choice Awards 

Since 1995, the UCSA Student Choice Awards (formerly Staff of the Year Awards) have given students the opportunity to nominate staff members who have gone above and beyond and made a real difference to their university experience. This encompasses lecturers, supervisors, administrators, and other non-academic staff members on campus. 

The Student Choice Awards offers an opportunity to celebrate these dedicated and committed individuals in a fun way.
