The ITEA Awards ceremony took place on Thursday 20 April during a gala dinner at the Van Rooyen Hall in Potchefstroom to recognise excellence in teaching and learning. These awards aim to identify innovative and outstanding teaching that takes place across the campuses of the NWU and to publicise contributions that lecturers make to student learning.

It is my honour and privilege to congratulate our colleagues. May their achievements encourage and inspire each of us to reach greater heights!
