The new Making a Difference Social Responsibility Awards have just been launched.

The Making a Difference Awards will recognise and celebrate the many different types of social responsibility achievements of the University’s academic and professional support staff, students and alumni.

Culminating in a major awards ceremony hosted by the President and Vice-Chancellor in May 2015, the awards will celebrate and raise awareness of how individuals and teams at the University are making a difference to the social and environmental wellbeing of our communities and wider society.

The awards will cover a wide range of contributions to the University’s social responsibility strategy and include categories such as community and public engagement, applied-teaching, community collaborations, widening participation, sustainability, processes and equality and diversity.

To read the full range of categories, including the public engagement category, visit the social responsibility website.

The deadline for entries is 2 March 2015.

Candidates can self-nominate or be nominated by a third party.

Individuals and teams can enter.
