Golden Apple Awards

Awards for outstanding members of staff

Golden Apple Awards 

The Golden Apple Awards is a scheme run by the Students’ Union, to enable students to reward academic and support staff who exhibit exceptional teaching/support standards or are particularly inspiring within their field. Students from across the University are welcome to nominate any member of staff or support department who/which has a particularly influential role in the student’s development. These awards are given annually to outstanding academic and support staff members, nominated by the students. 


Nominations for the 2022 Golden Apple Awards are now live.

The nomination form can be accessed here.

Nomination closing date is the 3rd of June 2022 at 12pm
 

WHAT STAFF Said…

“I must say that I feel the students that I work with are a superb group of people and I enjoy working with them very much indeed – I get much back in terms of intellectual stimulation so if were possible, I would award all of them with a golden apple!”

“Recognitions of the contribution of members of staff to the community of learners at the university are very very important to us. Small and big affirmations of each other are a vital part of the building of a resilient and caring community.”

“however much you enjoy teaching, it is first necessary to have interested, dedicated, and hard-working students”

Quotes from students’ comments:

“It’s the small things that set her apart from other lecturers at CCCU”

“She takes a great interest in the activities of her students, as well as participating in activities outside her field”

“He pushes his students in a supportive way, and is always approachable for feedback or advice on work matters or other issues”

“She goes beyond what is needed to get the best out of students”

“He goes beyond the call of duty to help any student, even if he is busy”

“I can honestly say that she has made the difference between me fulfilling my dream or giving up. She is honest, consistent, inspirational and an unending supply of positivity”

“She is constantly enthusiastic, no matter how tired she says she is, and she always has the time to speak to anybody about any concerns they have or anything they want to share”

“He is a true gentleman and an inspiration to all”

“He makes us think for ourselves and encourages us to really push ourselves academically”

“His humor combined with his knowledge makes the difficult lectures seem more bearable!”

The 11th Golden Apple Awards took place on Wednesday 27th May 2020 and it was slightly different due to the Covid-19 lockdown, but that didn't stop us from celebrating the academic and support staff who go above and beyond to ensure students get the support they deserve.

You can watch the awards on Facebook or on YouTube and it was rather exciting seeing so many people watching.
