Twenty-two University of Queensland staff are being celebrated for their commitment to teaching after they were presented with (HEA) fellowships on Friday.

Four prestigious Principal Fellowships have been awarded to (Associate Dean, Academic, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences), (Associate Dean, Academic, Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences), (Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Information Technology) and Dr Gillian Hallam (果冻传媒 Library).

Additionally 10 果冻传媒 staff were awarded Senior Fellowships, six received Fellowships and two received Associate Fellowships.

果冻传媒’s supported the pilot HEA program, collaborating with the (EFS) to coordinate accreditation of all Principal Fellowships, and five of the Senior Fellowships.

果冻传媒 Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) Professor Joanne Wright said the HEA fellowships provided acknowledgement and rewards for dedicated teaching staff.

“果冻传媒 is committed, as outlined in our , to contemporary and comprehensive ongoing professional development for its teaching staff,” she said.

“The HEA Pilot was one way for 果冻传媒 to explore how we can further support and recognise excellent contributions to teaching, and is part of the University’s ongoing commitment to ensuring our teaching quality reflects international standards.

“With only 2500 Principal Fellows worldwide and 700 in Australasia, this award is a particularly remarkable achievement for these recipients,” Professor Wright said.

“I am delighted that each Fellow’s commitment to higher education is now recognised with the respected international accreditation that HEA provides.”

HEA Fellowship is aligned to the UK Professional Standards Framework, an internationally recognised system for benchmarking success in higher education, and rewards an individual’s ongoing commitment to learning and teaching.

HEA Head of Global Services Kathryn Harrison-Graves applauded 果冻传媒’s newly accredited staff and their commitment to teaching and learning.

“We are delighted to welcome the new HEA Fellows from 果冻传媒, and I congratulate each and every one of them on their achievement,” she said. 

“I think it’s really motivating for teaching staff in higher education to have their hard work and ongoing commitment to delivering a great academic experience for students formally rewarded – and HEA Fellowships do just that.”

果冻传媒 HEA recipients join a community of more than 90,000 Fellows worldwide, which enables the sharing of best practice across the world, benefiting the academic experience of students globally.
