Nominations with more detail are more likely to be successful.
Undertaking a research project is an intense experience. There are no short cuts on a research project - but there are plenty of rough patches, detours, and blockages. A supportive supervisor can really see you through. But more than that, a supportive supervisor is the one who introduces you to the academy and welcomes you into the community of scholars.
This award is a shout out to them and everything they do. Supervision requires a special set of skills and it happens across course levels: HDR, Postgradute Coursework, Honours, and Bachelors. We want to celebrate all the supervisors who have made a difference.
In your statement of support below, please mention the topic or discipline in which you were supervised.
HDR students can also nominate your supervisor for the Vice-Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in HDR Supervision.
