Dean's Awards
The Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Professor Peter Smith, has announced the establishment of the
Dean’s Awards for Outstanding Achievement and the creation of the
Dean’s List.
The
Dean’s Awards for Outstanding Achievement will be made to individuals who have excelled in areas of research, teaching, community engagement and leadership. Individuals will be nominated by the Head of School / Unit to the Senior Associate Dean or to the Dean, who will make the decision with regard to the awards. Awards will be acknowledged on the Faculty website and certificates and medals will be presented at the
Faculty of Medicine’s Annual Awards Ceremony. Nominations can be made at any time during the year and should be in the form of a written submission providing a copy of the nominee’s curriculum vitae and details of the activity for which the award is to be made.
The
Dean’s List is to acknowledge the achievements of
young researchers with the potential to become career scientists and to be appointed to the Faculty or a research centre at UNSW. Awards will be made at the
undergraduate (ILP and Honours) and
postgraduate (MSc, Phd) level. Nominations would normally be made by the supervisor to the Head of School / Unit, who in turn would support the nomination to the Senior Associate Dean or Dean. Successful applicants would be acknowledged on the Faculty website and be presented with a Certificate of Achievement at the
Faculty of Medicine Annual Awards Ceremony.
This new initiative is aimed at rewarding, saluting and acknowledging the achievements of our students and staff and will be an integral part of the new
Talent Management Program being developed by the Faculty of Medicine.
