VC’s Excellence Awards nominations deadline extended

Dear colleagues

The deadline for the 2024 Vice-Chancellor’s (VC) Excellence Awards has been extended to Friday, 18 October 2024.

The University of Cape Town (UCT) community is encouraged to take advantage of this extended period to nominate the individuals and teams who have truly embodied the spirit of excellence, collaboration and leadership at the university.

Nominations are particularly encouraged for Professional, Administrative Support and Service (PASS) staff in the categories of the Global Citizenship Award and the Service Excellence Award. All staff engaged in transformation work are invited to apply or nominate colleagues for the Transformation Award. Nominations may be submitted for both individuals and teams.

A brief outline of each of the categories is as follows:

• Service Excellence: celebrates and recognises outstanding service by staff, including activities, initiatives, practices and/or projects that have contributed to the delivery of exceptional or significantly improved services to UCT’s staff and students (an award for PASS staff).
• Global Citizenship: recognises individuals or teams who have demonstrated excellence in living out the UCT mission through areas of service, the pursuit of knowledge, the dignity of the human being and contributions to the common good (an award for PASS staff).
• Transformation: aligns with the strategic plan of the university and our vision for excellence, transformation and sustainability, and is aimed at recognising and encouraging individuals, teams or any collective taking an active role in driving institutional culture change at UCT (an award for all staff).

Please submit nominations via email.
