We’re so excited to reveal the winners of the Teaching Awards 2022. This year, we received 596 nominations across the nine categories so thank you so much to all of the students who submitted an entry.

All shortlisted candidates were invited to an in-person awards event to celebrate their achievements and we're so proud to present awards to those staff that have gone above and beyond for students at Manchester Met.

Here’s the Teaching Awards 2022 winners:

 

---

 

Outstanding Commitment to Inclusive Teaching and Learning

Ginette Carpenter

“Her commitment to giving ‘both sides of the story’ ensures that harmful stereotypes of individuals are dispelled. Ginette is such an inclusive, supportive tutor, and I have thoroughly enjoyed being taught by her on such a thought-provoking unit.”

Outstanding Commitment to Student Wellbeing and Support

Rachel Shepherd

“(I) really felt like she had all the time in the world for me (and I know other students felt like this too)… I am very grateful to her for being there for me throughout such a challenging and isolating year.”

Outstanding Teaching for Sustainability

Jane Mork

“Her knowledge of sustainability and surrounding areas are all very fascinating and because of this, I have grown as an individual to take more action on lowering my carbon footprint.”

The Union Award for Outstanding Achievement

Winter Graudations

It is because the University pushed on against significant challenges to enable Law students, mathematicians, apprentices and those students who undertook placements in the NHS throughout the pandemic to have their closure that the Union Award 2022 goes to the Winter Graduations.
