Student Led Teaching Awards 2014
Bangor Students’ Union held its third Student Led Teaching Awards (SLTA) in the PJ Hall recently, together with the Course Representative Awards.
Students were given the opportunity to nominate any member of staff in a range of categories from “Support Staff Member of the Year” to “Teacher of the Year” and nearly 300 nominations were received, spanning the full range of staff positions and departments.
Rhys Taylor, Bangor Students’ Union Vice President for Education & Welfare, said: “It is great to see so many different names coming up year after year and how passionate students are about their teaching and learning experiences. The Student Led Teaching Awards is very quickly becoming an established event in the University calendar and the SU is extremely keen to ensure this project continues to grow. Congratulations to all winners and a massive thank you to the SLTA’s student panel, without whom we could not have done these Awards.”
Professor Carol Tully, Pro Vice Chancellor said: “The SLTAs have been a great success again this year and really emphasise the great work done by staff across the University. The nominations were both inspiring and moving and it was wonderful to see so many people recognised for their sterling work.'
