The Education Awards are a celebration of excellence in learning and teaching, giving staff and students the opportunity to reflect upon all the many achievements of the past academic year.
On Tuesday, after two years of being online, the Education Awards were back in person and better than ever. We held the awards in the Museum of Making and with over 200 tickets sold and 344 Nominations in total it was a Union Event to remember.
The Education Awards are a celebration of excellence in learning and teaching, giving staff and students the opportunity to reflect upon all the many achievements of the past academic year. Reading Education Awards nominations is always a highlight of the Union year and this year was in no way a disappointment. Pictures are now up on our Facebook page - facebook.com/DerbyUnion
We will be contacting all the nominees in order to share the joy - you will be contacted at a later date with nomination text so you can see the lovely messages people have said about you.
I would like to thank everyone for attending the Education Awards - it was great to see all your smiling faces, fancy outfits and hear the loud applause and whistling. Thank you as well to all those who sponsored and presented the different awards- you truly made the night even more special.
And finally, a special thank you to the voice team; without them this event could not have gone as well as it did.
If you attended the awards we'd love to know what you thought of it! Please fill out our brief feedback form.
Once again, congratulations to all winners and runners up!
