UCL BEAMS (The School of the Built Environment, Engineering and Mathematical and Physical Sciences) combines the various departments from the
Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment,
UCL Engineering, and the
Faculty of Mathematics and Physical Sciences (which includes STS). In an attempt to recognise the positive attitude and commitment that individual professional services staff in BEAMS bring to their work, and to celebrate how they are contributing to the
UCL 2034 enablers, the BEAMS Professional Services Awards were founded in 2017.
This year, two members of the STS Professional Services team were recognised for their work. Department Manager Lori Coletti Campbell was runner-up in the ‘Valuing our staff and delivering on equality and diversity’ category, while Operations Administrator Malcolm Chalmers was the winner of the ‘Communicating and engaging effectively with the world’ award. Nearly 80 separate nominations were submitted in total - to receive two awards for a relatively small department can be considered quite a success.
The prize giving was followed by a short speech from Rex Knight - Vice Provost (Operations), who thanked staff for their nominations, and thanked the entire UCL Professional Services group for their work, noting that without their assistance and input, UCL would not have the global reputation that it does. The ceremony was then followed by a short drinks reception.
