Do you work with or know someone who goes above and beyond and is doing an exceptional job at work?

The 2017 Vice-Chancellor’s Excellence Awards for Professional Staff are now open for nominations and give you a chance to acknowledge those colleagues (individuals or teams) who do great things in the areas of:

• Outstanding service
• Collaboration and connection
• Innovation and process improvement
• Leadership excellence

Award recipients are given a $4000 grant to be spent on professional development for the individual or team. Examples may include a course, conference or accreditation.

In 2016, Marcus Bingemann, Associate Director of International Communications for Macquarie International, received the Innovation and Process Improvement award for his transformation of the way the University interacts with prospective international students.

“I used the $4000 grant to attend MGSM’s Executive Education program in Design Thinking where I discovered new techniques to re-frame problems in a way that enables innovation and accelerates the way my team and I test new ideas,” Marcus said.
