The HEFi Awards Dinner took place on 12th February, and brought together colleagues from across the University of Birmingham for an evening celebrating a range of outstanding teaching achievements over the last 12 months. These included successful completion of the PGCHE, achieving HEA Fellowships through the Beacon scheme, and peer nominations for teaching excellence, innovation, leadership, and student support. It was an enjoyable and inspirational evening, and a wonderful demonstration of commitment to teaching and supporting student learning.
For the first time the winners of the HEFi Teaching and Learning Awards were announced on the night and the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Sir David Eastwood, congratulated the runners-up and presented the awards to the winners in each category.
