VU staff receive awards for brilliant contributions
Victoria University staff were encouraged to submit applications across eight categories: anchored in our Strategic Plan 2022-2028: Start well, finish brilliantly: Doing Dual Differently, Partnering with Principle, Maximising Research with Impact, Protecting Country and A Thriving Place to Study and Work.
VU Vice-Chancellor Professor Adam Shoemaker said about the recipients: “They are all key contributors – the people who make VU hum. We really value their dedication, their absolute application, and their significant efforts in 2023.
That’s what the Staff Brilliance Awards celebrate, and as an institution, we couldn’t be prouder of each of them and the many other incredible applicants who shared their work with us.
