Call for nominations

[Start transcript]

[Dr Neal Haslem]

I think as an organisation, RMIT importantly needs to recognise staff members who do go outside their comfort zone.

[Lilian Tan]

I think it's important to recognise and be cognisant of the fact that there are greater consequences and impacts to the daily things that you do.

[Gabrielle Fitzgerald]

I think as an organisation we should recognise more diversity of innovation and ideation as well, given the global scale of how things move so quickly.

[Dr Neal Haslem]

For me, to be able to nominate them for this award, allowed me the chance to articulate exactly what that meant for the school and the discipline and the program. But also, a chance to celebrate their work and to inspire other lecturers.

[Lilian Tan]

She deserves this nod. I can contribute to the fact that she got recognised for all her hard work.

[Rotem Hochman]

I feel great when I nominate someone for an award, because the process itself helps me crystallise what's great about that person. And besides that, it's the ultimate way of saying, well done and I've got your back.

[Dr Christine Chow]

I was really surprised when the Council's secretary rang me up one morning. I felt really humbled by the award.

[Peter West]

It was completely unexpected. Yoko and I have been working on the studio model of how we engage with Indigenous sovereignty, Indigenous nations for quite some time, and this is the work we do, but it is, of course, a wonderful honour and surprise.

[Lara Rafferty]

People aren't going to nominate themselves, well, I hope not anyway. So, it's about saying, outside your own work group, the quality and the impact of what you're doing. The work that you, as a team, a lead in, that work is recognised and valued, and it has really impact.
