PAIS are delighted that we had a highly successful night at the Warwick Staff Awards on Friday evening. It was a wonderful occasion and thanks for all your nominations!

Professor Shirin Rai was highly commended in the ‘global impact’ category for her work with Sarah Hodges from the Department of History and Dr Justin Greaves won the award for ‘outstanding contribution’ to the student experience – congratulations to them both.

It is a fantastic achievement for Justin and Shirin personally, and a great reflection of our teaching and research excellence in PAIS which we can all celebrate.

Head of Department, Professor Nick Vaughan-Williams says: "We can be especially proud that Justin’s work on the student experience has now been recognised as No 1 in the University. In a very modest way, Justin has been keen to stress that the award reflects a real team effort – including all our students and staff – working together in partnership to create as supportive environment as possible for students in PAIS. It was great to hear that Justin had been nominated by students as well as staff and I think this is further reflection of all the work he has done for our students."

Justin’s certificate reads:

“Justin’s contributions to PAIS are ultimately recognised by students and staff as being exceptionally significant in promoting the student experience. He is a true ambassador for making Warwick as supportive and enjoyable for students as possible. Justin’s approachability makes him accessible to students from when they join right through to when they graduate. Throughout their degrees, students appreciate Justin’s determination to ensure that the department is delivering, overcoming any boundaries that arise. He is passionate to develop students and always seeks to collaborate”.

Congratulations to all our colleagues who were long listed or short listed for these awards.
