Students across Edinburgh College have nominated their lecturers, LDTs, support staff and class reps across 5 Award Categories. The shortlisting panel has come back and are excited to announce the shortlist for our Annual ECSA-llence Awards.
We are at that time of year where we want to recognise the excellent learning and teaching practices taking place at Edinburgh College. The ECSA-llence Awards recognise all that extraordinary work happening in all corners of the College, even when we are working from home.
As the ECSA-llence Awards are truly student-led, all nominations came directly from students and we were pleased to receive almost 400 nominations. The shortlisting panel consisted of current and incoming ECSA Presidents, Carla Ford & Jordan Wyllie as well as student staff.
