Staff awards

The staff awards celebrate our academic and professional staff. These are the people who have gone above and beyond to help you. The awards and the criteria can be found below.

Best academic advisor
Your academic advisor might be the reason you got through the year. This award goes to the best advisor who has helped you produce your best work, encouraged you when you needed it, and pushed you outside of your comfort zone.

Best professional staff
There are many staff at UEL that make a difference and impact your lives. These could the people behind the catering, maintenance, SportsDock, The Hub, etc. It’s time they got a thank you. This award is for someone who went beyond their job and provided support and guidance when you needed it.
