Top Tips for a Strong Nomination

When writing your supporting statement remember that you don’t have to relate directly to every aspect of the broad criteria we have provided. Try and highlight explicit examples of the nominee’s work and how they have had a positive influence on your time as a student.

Dates

Nominations are open to all University of Plymouth Students to nominate their lecturers, course reps and will be open 
from the 

4^th February 
to the
25^t February. 

The Awards Ceremony will be held on the 21st March.

What happens when nominations close?

After the closing date, a panel made of students and UPSU staff will meet and agree a short-list for each award category. This will be made up of two ‘Highly Commended’ and one ‘Winner’ from each Faculty. This shortlist will be advertised and those who made it on will be invited to the Awards Ceremony, where the overall ‘Highly Commended’ and ‘Winners’ will be announced.

The winners of the School Rep award will be decided by the SSTAR Project Team.
