Introduction

The President’s Award Scheme for Outstanding Performance of Academic/Teaching Staff was established in 2000-01 to recognise outstanding performance, to promote excellence in performance standards and to encourage colleagues to press on for greater achievement.  Under the Scheme, the President and Vice-Chancellor will give out one and at most two President’s Awards for Outstanding Performance in Teaching, Scholarly Work, and Service, as well as for Outstanding Young Researcher.

 

Three Sub-Committees for Teaching, Scholarly Work, and Service were formed as the first bodies to consider all nominations made by Faculties/Schools.  Recommendations of the Selection Sub-Committees were then considered by a Selection Committee chaired by the President and Vice-Chancellor with members comprising the Vice-President (Academic), the Vice-President (Research and Development), Vice-President (Teaching and Learning) and one representative drawn from Members of each Sub-Committee.

 

This year, the University received a total of twenty-one nominations from respective Faculties/Schools for the Award Scheme.  With effect from 2015-16, the recipient of the General Education Teaching Award will also be considered for the President’s Award in Teaching with other nominated colleagues.  All candidates have performed excellent work in their respective areas.  After exhaustive deliberation, the Selection Committee finally recommended eight colleagues to receive the President’s Award for their outstanding accomplishments.  They have either made important breakthroughs in or exerted a remarkable impact on their respective work areas.  We congratulate these eight colleagues for their significant contributions.  The University takes great pride in their dedication, profound commitment and outstanding achievements.
