Aston Excellence Awards

The Aston Excellence Awards are the single event of the year when you can say to your favourite lecturer: "Thanks, you made an impression on me!". The awards are given to members of staff  that make outstanding contributions towards the achievement of Aston’s mission to develop Excellence in Learning and Teaching, Research and Community Engagement. So, it is like the lecturers' Oscars. I am personally nominating my favourite lecturer just to make a nice gesture. He has definitely influenced me in many ways and got me hooked on a subject I am not particularly fond of. 

I think one of the best feeling is the one of appreciation; as when you write a coursework that you spent so much time on and you receive a good review (Oh my god, look at the writing so many amazing stuff about my baby!). Personally, for me it is not the grade but the review on the return form that just makes a difference.

Anyway, probably most of you have read he e-mail distributed by the university about the voting process. If you have not, just ask in a comment and I will give you the contact person myself. But you need to submit your nominee before the 27th May. And before I forget, I think that if you vote you get to go to the ceremony (Need to double check that.).
