2021 Spring One UCL Awards

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

Thank you for your nominations

We received so many submissions for this spring’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.
