Thanks to the community of highly committed staff at UQ’s Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences, the Faculty has an international reputation as a leader in health and behavioural sciences education and research.
The 2018 Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences Awards this week celebrated the outstanding work of academic, research and professional staff.
The ceremony was presented by Faculty Executive Dean Professor Bruce Abernethy, Associate Dean (Research) Professor Christina Lee, Dr Louise McCuaig of the School of Human Movement and Nutrition Sciences and representative of the Faculty Teaching and Learning Committee, and Faculty Executive Manager, Tricia Williams.
Executive Dean Professor Bruce Abernethy thanked all staff for their hard work and commitment that has contributed to the success of the Faculty.
“This is an important event to recognise all HaBS staff who work across the six schools and six faculty centres who contribute to the operational and strategic endeavours of the university,” Professor Abernethy said.
“It is always a pleasure to read through the nominations as they bring to light the ways staff go 'above and beyond' in their everyday roles.
“Congratulations to all the very worthy award recipients.”
