Students and members of the academic staff are invited to submit nominations for Distinguished Teacher Awards in 2012.

All members of staff who teach students are eligible for the award. Outstanding 'junior' lecturers should be considered for nominations but only if they have been teaching for a minimum of three years, as the award is made in recognition of a continuous record of excellence in teaching.

Nominations must consist of a detailed statement making the case for the award. Where possible, evidence of excellence in teaching over a number of years should be included, as well as some detail about the nominee's approach to teaching.

Nominations (marked Confidential, for the attention of Ms C Windvogel) are to reach the Office of the Registrar: Legal Services and Secretariat, Room 140, Bremner Building, by Friday 30 March.

It is not necessary to provide all the supporting documents by the deadline.
