Office for Learning and Teaching: Awards for Teaching Excellence 2014

It is with great pleasure that I announce a Murdoch staff member as a winner of the prestigious National Awards for Teaching Excellence in 2014. On behalf of the Murdoch community I extend my congratulations to Associate Professor Mike Calver from the School of Veterinary and Life Sciences.

Mike’s contribution to learning and teaching has been outstanding over an extensive period of more than twenty years.

His record of innovation and scholarship in teaching within and across disciplines and sectors and his wholehearted investment in students’ learning and success has contributed significantly to Murdoch University’s proud tradition of excellence in learning and teaching.

Mike will be presented with an award at the national ceremony to be held in Canberra in December. Mike will also receive a prize of $25,000 for the further enhancement of his learning and teaching expertise at Murdoch.

At Murdoch we recognise our high quality teaching staff through the annual Vice Chancellor’s Awards for Teaching Excellence and the Vice Chancellor’s Awards for Excellence in enhancing learning.  Only those recipients who demonstrate an outstanding contribution are selected by the VC’s Learning and Teaching Awards Committee to represent Murdoch at the national awards.

Professor Andrew Taggart, Acting Vice Chancellor
