ALTC Citation winners announced

Leading Australian university teaching and support staff will be honoured next month when they receive prestigious Australian Learning and Teaching Council Citations at six ceremonies held across the nation.

More than $2 million will be presented to 206 individuals and teams as part of the Australian Government’s commitment to quality learning and teaching, with each citation worth $10,000. This year a record number of institutions received citations.

Citations are awarded to academic and professional staff who have made long-standing contributions to the quality of student learning and improving the overall student experience.

Professor Richard Johnstone, ALTC Executive Director, said the citations reveal the tremendous commitment in the higher education sector to improving the student experience.

“The quality and quantity of applications received represent the incredible effort made by university staff Australia-wide to contribute to a positive learning experience for every student,” Professor Johnstone said.

“Recipients are drawn from a broad range of disciplines and can be found working throughout the institutions as citations recognise the work of everyone with a role in enhancing student learning.”

The citation ceremonies will be held at 4pm at the following locations:
