PolyU academics scooped two awards in the 2016 University Grants Council (UGC) Teaching Award, exemplifying their dedication and passion in education that sets our teachers apart from the rest.

PolyU has multiple reasons to celebrate this month, as the first university to simultaneously clinch two of the three categories in the UGC Teaching Award. The winning academics received their awards from Prof. Adrian Dixon, Chairperson of Selection Panel, at a ceremony held on 8 September.

The University is delighted to congratulate Dr Grace Ngai and Dr Stephen Chan for taking out the General Faculty Members/Teams category and Dr Shirley Ngai for winning the Early Career Faculty Member category. The awards recognise their outstanding teaching performance and achievements, their leadership and scholarly contributions to teaching and learning.
