The Leeds Partnership Awards are an annual celebration of the incredible contributions made by staff and students across the University.
These awards shine a spotlight on achievements in areas such as teaching excellence, equality and inclusion, wellbeing, research innovation, and community engagement, reflecting the values of collaboration, respect, and enhancing the student experience.
The Interim Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Student Education and Experience Professor Kenneth McDowall said:
“Another record-breaking year for nominations has made the shortlisting process all the more difficult for our judging panel.”
“This is testament to just how highly regarded the Leeds Partnership Awards have become. They’re an excellent opportunity to recognise the people at the heart of our learning community who exemplify our shared commitment to working in partnership to further enhance the outstanding education we deliver at Leeds.
“Congratulations to everyone who has been nominated – and especially to our finalists – for your achievements and contributions this year. I look forward to celebrating your success at the awards ceremony and recognising the impact you have made across our community.”
