Staff across the university have been recognised for their achievements in a range of higher education sector awards throughout 2021.
Vice-Chancellor Professor Zlatko Skrbis said it was important to celebrate the achievements of our staff, especially when their work is acknowledged by sector peers and colleagues.
“My congratulations to ACU staff who have won, or been finalists in, external sector awards throughout 2021,” Professor Skrbis said.
“These achievements speak to the high-calibre of work happening across ACU every day.”
Staff are encouraged to advise the Office of the Vice-Chancellor (vc.admin@acu.edu.au) when ACU staff receive sector awards or appointments, or are involved in external collaborations or other achievements. Staff can also share updates about sector awards or achievements on Workplace, via the Awards and Achievements group.
