David Morrish wins 2018 Inspirational Teaching Award at Sheffield Hallam University

Senior Lecturer in Fashion Design David Morrish was this week recognised for excellent contribution to a commitment to secure student success through exceptional teaching, in being listed amongst the recipients of the Inspirational Teaching Award Winners 2018.

Of 2,597 nominations and 1,097 individual staff members and teams, David was one of 19 awarded the prize on 17 May 2018.

Vice-Chancellor Professor Chris Husbands announced the winners and said this:

All universities exist, more than anything else, for their students.  The hard work of a university is the consistent effort, day-in, day-out to secure student success through exceptional teaching and student support.   Sheffield Hallam has understood this for some time, and the teaching, student support and research supervision awards have now run successfully for eight years, becoming a highlight of the University calendar and a part of the fabric of the institution.  The pictures in the main University entrance remind students, staff and visitors alike of our commitment to, and our success in, teaching and student support.  It is an enormous pleasure to be able to publish the names of this year’s award winners.

I’d like to congratulate all the nominees, all the award winners and all the staff who were successfully nominated for a University award.  I think this is a fantastic scheme and I’m full of admiration for all the nominees.  It’s a tribute to the University that we have so many students who identify so many staff as being inspiring, transformational and supportive.
