The Student Association's annual Student Led-Teaching and Society Awards was another great night of celebration and fun. We were joined by over 60 students and staff from Abertay to celebrate the outstanding achievements of our community.

The Society Awards highlighted the exceptional contributions made by student societies on Campus and online, representing a diverse range of interest and activities. Categories such as “Best New Society” and “Society of the Year” recognised the dedication and impact of our incredible students. Through our 5 awards categories we aimed to acknowledge the remarkable dedication and passion of our student societies.

The winners of our Society Awards this year are as follows:

Best New Society – Abertay Biomedical Science Society

Big Heart Award – AberGay Society

Most Improved Society – Abertay University Law Society

Vice-President’s Choice – Tabletop Society

Society of the Year – Ethical Hacking Society

  

In addition to honouring our societies, the Student-Led Teaching Awards acknowledged the remarkable efforts of Abertay’s academic and non-academic staff. The awards showcased educators who consistently went above and beyond, inspiring, and engaging students through innovative teaching methods and personalised support, as well as non-teaching support staff members, who have helped improve the student experience.

The winners of this year’s Student-Led Teaching Awards are as follows:

Excellent Teaching – Robin Griffiths and Martin Lynagh

Best Feedback – Nicholas Grier

Enhancing Student Opportunities – Jade Kouletakis

Best Non-Lecturing/ Support Staff – Brooke Ireland

Most Engaging Module – Erin Hughes for CMP301: Graphics Programming with Shaders

  

As always, it was a pleasure to have our event supported by senior staff from the University. The Awards night was opened by our very own Principal – Prof. Liz Bacon and was hosted by our Dean of Teaching and Learning – Dr. Luke Millard.

The awards night highlights the importance we place on recognising achievement in both the academic and community aspects of the student experience. The event hosted by us and supported by you, our incredible colleagues and students, aimed to foster a culture of collaboration and innovation, nurturing an environment where our students can connect, belong and thrive.

Until next year!
