Student-run TEA awards recognise SBS staff

The Teaching Excellence Awards (TEAs) are Strathclyde's student-led teaching awards, held annually to recognise the best of Strathclyde's teaching and university staff.

Being student-led means it is solely students who nominate, shortlist and pick the winners, and Strathclyde Business School staff were recognised in several of the awards, with 48 individuals nominated for awards, some in several categories, and four members of staff winning in different categories.

Susan Jackson, senior programme administrator in SEED, was the winner in the ‘Best Non-Teaching/Support Staff’ category while Natalie Wilson, Department of Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship, Strategy and Innovation, was also shortlisted.

Dr Anna Spadavecchia, Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship, Strategy and Innovation, was shortlisted in the ‘Best PGR Supervisor’ category.

The winner of the ‘Best Teaching Assistant or Tutor’ category was Department of Accounting and Finance tutor Sara Szoboszlai. Jan Jasinski, PhD researcher in the Hunter Centre, was shortlisted in the same category.

The Hunter Centre’s Dr Lucrezia Casulli was the winner of the ‘Changemaker Award’. Also shortlisted was Craig McLaughlin, Department of Accounting & Finance.

Mahdi Doostmohammadi, Department of Management Science, was shortlisted in the ‘Above and Beyond Teaching’ category.

Anna Spadavecchia, Ian Moir, Lucrezia Casuli, Natalie Wilson and Sara Szoboszlai were all shortlisted for the ‘Best in Business’ faculty award, with Natalie Wilson, senior programmes administrator in the Hunter Centre, winning the category overall.
