Every year we host the ECSA-llence Awards to recognise the ECSA-llent work done across all parts of Edinburgh College. And this year is no different!
Staff and students constantly work to improve the learning and teaching experience at Edinburgh College and we want to recognise the dedication and extraordinary work we witness on a daily basis! Now more than ever with a temporary change in mode of teaching we want to recognise those who have embraced the challenge and excelled. The ECSA-llence Awards are purely student led and all nominations come from students so this is your chance to nominate.
Do you have a lecturer that goes above and beyond the call of duty? Or someone who submit constructive and useful feedback on assessments? Have they come up with excited new ways to teach?
Did a support staff member help you stay on at college or help you make adjustments to studying at home? Or do you have a Class Rep that's an inspiration to yourself and/or others?
The award categories are listed below and it only takes a couple of minutes to submit your nomination!
On the nomination form you need to include a supporting statement, this is what the shorlisting panel will use to make their decision so please include as much information as possible. We love examples of good practice! The shortlisting panel will consist of the current full time student officers as well as the newly elected officers.
You can submit as many nominations as you like, but please keep them to one person at a time.
