The outstanding achievements of UNSW staff in improving student learning have been recognised with seven citations from the Australian Learning and Teaching Council.

The Council (ALTC) has awarded citations to six individuals and one team from UNSW, among the 200 staff honoured nationally from a record number of universities, including COFA Associate Dean (Academic) Graham Forsyth.

“The citations highlight the tremendous commitment in the higher education sector to improving the student experience,” ALTC’s Executive Director, Professor Richard Johnstone, said.

The awards – worth $10,000 each – are funded by the Federal Government and will be presented in August.
