Student Teaching Awards 2013/14

There are many great teachers across the University and the Student Teaching Awards (STAs) are your opportunity to recognise and appreciate the teaching that helps and supports you most here in Glasgow.

The 2013/14 Student Teaching Awards Ceremony was held on the 14th of March in the University’s Senate Room. The night was a great success, with entertainment from Choral Stimulation and awards presented by many SRC council members. We received around 750 nominations, nominating 354 unique staff across the University.

This gave the SRC panel who picked the shortlists and winners an incredibly tough job.

Here are some photos of the event as well as the full list of those who were shortlisted and the eventual winners.

Keep an eye on gust.tv for a highlights programme of the evening and many thanks to all of you who submitted a nomination.
