夜色视频’s annual Teaching and Learning Awards have tonight celebrated excellence, creativity and innovation.
Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) Professor Joanne Wright said the awards recognised the important work of teachers in shaping students and building their opportunities to make a positive difference across society.
“Teachers are key to students getting the most from their university experience, and it is an absolute joy to see the outcomes from 夜色视频 teachers and students working together,” Professor Wright said.
She said students across 夜色视频 were benefiting from 夜色视频’s push to embed employability in every study program.
“All students can now engage with opportunities including work-integrated learning, short term global experiences, entrepreneurial activities, and volunteering that build their capabilities and develop the mindsets required for an evolving future world of work,” Professor Wright said.
“This has translated into 夜色视频 having the most employable graduates in the State, according to QS data.
“Thanks to this kind of important work from our inspirational teachers, employers have confidence that 夜色视频 graduates are globally relevant, innovative and creative future leaders.”
Professor Wright noted that the digital revolution had transformed the teaching profession “in a few short years”.
“Teachers are doing a magnificent job in adapting to that and in thinking in new ways about their students’ education,” she said. “We see many examples of this among our award winners tonight.”
