The 2025 Vice-Chancellor’s Awards for Excellence in Education offer an opportunity for ANU to recognise and celebrate the outstanding contributions of our educators. As the landscape of education continues to evolve, these awards showcase the dedication, creativity, and passion of our teaching community—whether as convenors, tutors, supervisors, supporters, or leaders.
This year’s nominees and recipients demonstrated innovative, student-centred approaches tailored to their disciplines. From inspiring large cohorts and connecting complex research to real-world applications, to enriching learning through playful and supportive experiences, and cultivating inclusive environments, these educators are shaping students’ success as active, self-directed learners.
The evaluation panels sought to identify initiatives and well-established practices where rigorous evaluation has demonstrated the impact and value of each educator’s work, collaboration, and vision. We hope these stories inspire further excellence and ongoing innovation in learning and teaching across the ANU community.
