The University of Nottingham has been shortlisted for three awards celebrating leadership and management.

The Times Higher Education Leadership and Management Awards, also known as the THELMAs, celebrate those that work in the ‘engine rooms of our institutions, guide them through challenging terrain and lay the foundations for future success’.

For the eighth annual awards the University has been shortlisted in the following categories:

• Outstanding Development/Alumni Relations Team – for The Campaign & Alumni Relations Office’s innovation and excellence in philanthropic giving- specifically around the Impact campaign, the Cascade Alumni grants project, and alumni volunteering.
• Knowledge Exchange/Transfer Initiative of the Year – for the Business Engagement and Innovation Services team’s innovative Arts to Business programme which uses expertise and insights from Arts academics to help businesses look at their issues in a different way.
• Outstanding Administrative Services Team – for the development of a suite of international clinical trial agreements to aid clinical research overseas.

Dr Paul Greatrix, Registrar, at The University of Nottingham, said: “I’m delighted that we have been shortlisted for the THELMAs.

“This national recognition is testament to the hard work and dedication of our talented professional services team. Well done all.”

Winners will be revealed at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London on 23 June 2016.
