Wall of Fame to feature top academics
The University of the Sunshine Coast will launch a Wall of Fame on Monday 1 December to celebrate the success of its award-winning academics.
A feature wall on the second floor of the USC Library will be adorned with framed photographs of academic staff who have received national recognition for their outstanding contributions to teaching and learning.
Chair of USC’s Learning and Teaching Management Committee Associate Professor Joanne Scott will officially unveil the Wall of Fame at a ceremony from 5-6pm.
Six USC academics have received Australian Learning and Teaching Council (formerly Carrick) Citations for Outstanding Contribution to Student Learning in the three years since the awards began.
The recipients are Associate Professor Gary Crew and Lecturer Dr Maria Raciti in 2006, Associate Professor Karen Brooks and Lecturer Gayle Mayes in 2007 and Associate Professor Stephen Lamble and Associate Lecturer Gill Cowden in 2008.
Their expertise ranges from Creative Writing to Tourism, and from Popular Culture to Business Marketing and Journalism.
The Wall of Fame launch will be attended by most of the ALTC recipients, staff currently applying for ALTC recognition, and other University staff.
