There is only one week left for staff and students to nominate an outstanding member of university staff in this year’s Lord Dearing Awards.

Please take a few minutes to submit a nomination.

Running since 1999, the Lord Dearing Awards recognise and celebrate the world-class contribution to the student experience or teaching and learning made by university staff across campuses, job families, roles, and disciplines.

The scheme was personally supported by Lord Ronald Dearing, the fifth Chancellor of the University of Nottingham, and hundreds of individual members of staff and teams across the job families and campuses have received an award since 1999.

Staff impacting on some aspect of the student experience (broadly defined) or teaching, learning, and / or student outcomes are eligible to apply for up to two categories of Lord Dearing Award each year: Individual Award, Team Award, and / or Excellence in the Learning Environment Award for faculty Schools or Departments.

Staff and students can nominate an individual staff member or team for an award. Heads of School or Departments can nominate their School or Department for an Excellence in the Learning Environment award.

Once nominated, a nominee can choose whether to progress with a Lord Dearing Award application.

Please take a few minutes to submit a nomination.

Find out more about the Lord Dearing Awards including the nomination process and the subsequent application process undertaken by nominees who choose to accept a given nomination.

Nominations close on Friday 24 November 2023 and awards will be conferred in the summer 2024.
