The Student Academic Choice Awards - or SACAs for short - are Imperial College Union's flagship event for empowering students to recognise, reward and celebrate excellence amongst College staff.
This year, all the SACA records were smashed - 586 students sent in 808 SACA nominations were received, for 407 members of staff - an increase of two-thirds on the 2014 SACAs. Nominations were received from every part of College, including every faculty, department and campus.
Since nominations closed, panels of student Academic Representatives have been sifting through the 80,000 words of nominations sent in by students - and they have selected the six best nominees in each category, who are now the 2015 SACAs Shortlistees.
The SACAs are there for students to say thanks to the best lecturers, demonstrators, administrators, technicians and researchers they encounter at Imperial - and we make sure every member of staff who is nominated gets recognition.
- All nominees receive the famous SACAs Mug, (now a must-have fashion accessory for academics!)
- All Shortlistees also win a framed certificate
- The eight SACAs Winners receive a trophy on the night.
All 48 Shortlistees will be invited to the 2015 SACAs Ceremony, held in the Union Building on the evening of 11 May, where the winner of each category will be revealed!
Full details of each Shortlistee can be found on the pages for each SACA Category.
