Transforming Education Awards (TEAs)

What are they?

The TEAs are our way of giving back to the academic community at UEA; taking a night to recognise the efforts of those that go above and beyond!

More often than not, academic staff will go the extra mile to ensure the best possible outcomes for their students without thinking anything of it. This is what everyone's expected to do, right? Well, we're here to let you know that we see your efforts, that they are appreciated in any form that they might take and that they (and you) should be celebrated for the great things that work enables!

With 18 categories to choose from, we encourage you to take a moment and think of any exceptional lecturers or student reps and nominate them for one of those awards:

1. Blended Learning Award
2. Inclusivity Champion Award
3. Employability and Experiential Learning Award
4. Advocate for Students Award
5. Inspiring Teaching Award
6. Outstanding Postgraduate Teacher
7. PhD Supervisor of the Year
8. PG Advisor of the Year
9. UG Advisor of the Year
10. SEP Staff Co-Chair (SPO) of the Year
11. Module of the Year
12. Academic Community Contribution Award
13. Convenor of the Year
14. SEP Member of the Year
15. Professional Service of the Year
16. Best Support Service Individual
17. School of the Year
18. Academic Society Partnership Award

A word from the previous UEA vice chancellor

“I have been so impressed by the resilience and dedication shown by our staff and students in the past two years through very challenging circumstances. It is wonderful to see campus full of activity again and to see students benefiting from everything which UEA has to offer. I appreciate the work of all UEA staff in ensuring that students have a great education experience here. Good luck and thank you to all those nominated in this year’s Transforming Education Awards.”
- David Richardson, VCO
