Deakin’s latest HEA Fellows were recently celebrated at the 2022 Deakin Community of HEA Fellows afternoon tea. Held on Thursday 26 May 2022 at Deakin Downtown, the event was a valuable opportunity for staff who are passionate about teaching and learning to meet and mingle with faculty executives and Faculty Associate Deans of Teaching and Learning. In attendance were Professor Iain Martin, Vice-Chancellor of Deakin University, Professor Liz Johnson, Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Academic and Professor Helen Partridge, Pro Vice-Chancellor of Teaching and Learning.

New HEA Fellows

The DeakinHE Fellowship Program provides those involved in learning and teaching with formal recognition of their teaching practice, impact and leadership. Liz Johnson, Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Academic stresses the importance of Fellowship: ‘The growing network of Fellows creates an important talent pool of learning leaders for Deakin. Fellowship also provides the rare opportunity for teaching staff to take a few moments to reflect on their own teaching practice.’

The newest addition of 93 staff awarded HEA Fellowship includes 13 Senior Fellows, 41 Fellow and 39 Associate Fellows.

‘Congratulations one and all,’ said Professor Iain Martin, Vice-Chancellor of Deakin University. ‘I would like to give a particular acknowledgement to sessional staff who made up a third of successful applicants. I would also like to acknowledge the mentors and assessors from the fellowship community who supported these individuals throughout the program.’

You can find a full list of Deakin HEA Fellows on the DeakinHub.
