2020 Summer One UCL Awards

Congratulations to the winners of this summer's One UCL Awards, and well done to everybody who was nominated

Thank you for your nominations

We received more submissions than ever for this summer’s One UCL Awards. The nominations we received came from all over UCL, and we are delighted to announce the winners from among a host of inspiring stories of excellence and best practice.

Although the nominations were not specific to the pandemic, it did impact upon the submissions we received – highlighting the way colleagues across the university have worked together to support each other and our students in these unprecedented times. The work of colleagues before and during Covid-19 has been exceptional and the breadth of nominations we received also reflect the great work undertaken in more ‘normal’ times.

Congratulations from Fiona Ryland, UCL Chief Operating Officer

Celebrating our colleagues

While we are unable to celebrate in person at this time, we look forward to doing so in the Autumn Term. For now, we want to recognise the incredible commitment and achievement of our winners as best as we can and over the next few days will be sharing their stories through the Daily coronavirus (Covid-19) update.

Well done to everybody who was nominated for an award this summer - and thank you to everybody who took the time to submit a nomination in what are cleary busy times for everyone. In particular we would like to thank our judges for the time and care they put in to reviewing over 250 nominations.
