The University of Huddersfield is proud to celebrate excellence in teaching with the launch of its inaugural Most Inspiring Teacher Award. Designed to recognise SBC educators in Events Management – an SBC-HUD programme – who go above and beyond to motivate and engage their students, this prestigious honour highlights the transformative impact of outstanding teaching.
After a rigorous selection process—incorporating student reviews, nominations, and evaluations of teaching innovation—the University is delighted to announce the three recipients at SBC of this year’s award: Michael Rigby, Ajaya Shakya, and Patty Shen.
The Events Management programme at the Sino-British College are jointly delivered by the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology in partnership with the University of Huddersfield. Both universities were accredited by AACSB accreditation.
