These awards, organised by Kent Union give students the opportunity to nominate staff who they believe have gone the extra mile in their role.<\/p>\n
The Above and Beyond Awards were launched by\u00a0Kent Union<\/a> to celebrate outstanding members of staff, both academic and non-academic. Students nominate staff who they believe have gone above and beyond in their role, and a real source of pride for each nominee.<\/p>\n After a two year hiatus, due to the global pandemic, the event held to celebrate these staff had a bumper crop, with staff who had been nominated since 2020 in attendance.<\/p>\n Dr Jake Bicknell<\/a>, Dr Sarah Johns<\/a>, Dr Anna Waldstein<\/a>, Dr Simon Black<\/a> and Dr Joe Bull<\/a> pictured here, were all proud recipients, winning themselves the very covetable Above and Beyond red mug.<\/p>\n ‘It was a great honour to have my hard work and passion for working with students recognised at the Above and Beyond event, and to be there alongside my wonderful colleagues.’ Bicknell responded.<\/p>\n The full list of nominated SAC staff are as follows:<\/p>\n Dr Nicholas Newton-Fisher<\/a>, Dr Daniella Peluso<\/a>, Dr Rajindra K Puri<\/a>, Miguel Alexiades, Dr Jonathan Rock Rokem<\/a>, Dr Robert Fish<\/a>, Dr Tatyana Humle<\/a>, Dr Zerrin Biner Arroyo-Kalin<\/a>\u200b, Professor Dimitrios Theodossopoulos<\/a>, Dr Alison Foster<\/a>, Dr Sarah Johns<\/a>, Dr Natalia Garcia Bonet<\/a>, Dr Dave Roberts<\/a>, Joseph Tzanopoulos<\/a>, and with a massive 5 nominations, Dr Devin Finaughty!<\/a><\/p>\n Congratulations to all of them!<\/p>\n If you know a member of staff who has gone above and beyond for students, you can nominate them\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
