Edith Cowan University’s Vice-Chancellor’s Staff Excellence Awards 2022 winners.
A professor targeting energy sustainability to enable a greener and cleaner environment, a research centre improving health outcomes for Aboriginal children, and a team who supported international students studying offshore throughout the COVID-19 pandemic were among those recognised for excellence.
More than 22 individuals and teams were honoured at Edith Cowan University’s (ECU) Vice-Chancellor’s Staff Excellence Awards held on Friday, 18 November at ECU Joondalup Campus.
The awards recognise and reward staff who exemplify ECU’s core values of integrity, respect, rational inquiry, personal excellence and courage, and who achieve outstanding outcomes in one of the five award categories.
Vice-Chancellor Professor Steve Chapman CBE congratulated all winners and nominees.
“I am incredibly proud of each and every ECU staff member, for your commitment to your work, research, and supporting our students to thrive in their studies,” Professor Chapman said.
“This year, 160 staff members were nominated across individual and team awards in the categories of Learning and Teaching, Research and Research Supervision, Inspirational Staff, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Advancement and Outstanding Contribution to Health and Safety Practice.
“Winners of the Vice Chancellor’s Staff Excellence Awards for 2022 have gone above and beyond for ECU demonstrating excellence, innovation, dedication and an unwavering commitment to our values.”
