STARS of Warwick Awards

The STARS of Warwick Awards are awards that are run by students, nominated by students and have the winners decided by students. Right from deciding categories to nominating and presenting awards, it is a completely student-led process to enable you to reward the university staff that you think should be rewarded.

This is the second year that Warwick will run these awards. The committee, made up of ten students, has decided on the following categories:

• Best Teaching Style
• Most Inspiring Academic
• Best Personal Tutor
• Best Academic for Undergraduates
• Best Academic for Postgraduates
• Best Postgraduate Student Who Teaches
• Best Admin Support Staff
• Best Careers Advisor
• Best Supervisor
• Best Lecturer for Assessment Feedback
• Most Responsive to Student Feedback
• Most Supportive Staff Member

The winners were announced at an awards ceremony on the 5th March in Rootes Chancellors Suite.

Congratulations to our 12 winners this year and to every single staff member who was shortlisted or nominated – your students took the time to write some lovely things about you, so on behalf of them, thank you for all of the wonderful things you do.
