Has one of your colleagues made it through to the shortlist? Congratulate them on social media, and be sure to include this year’s hashtag: #VCAwards2021 – the Internal Communications team will feature a selection of colleague messages in upcoming editions of Staff Matters.
The awards and results
An in-person awards ceremony will be held in October this year, observing all relevant University COVID-mitigating measures including the wearing of face coverings and applying social distancing rules.
We look forward to revealing the winners of this year’s 11 categories on Friday 15 October. An initial announcement will be made on SUSSED News, with a special edition of Staff Matters being sent to staff at the end of October, packed full of photos, messages and a highlights video, to give you a flavour of this year’s awards.
