Nominations for Honorary Awards
Nominations can be made for Honorary Awards to be awarded at the City St George’s graduation ceremonies.
Please note that the process has not yet been updated to reflect the merger.
Candidates for these awards will be proposed through a nominations process agreed by Corporate Governance and Nominations Committee (CGNC), which will then make recommendations to Council for consideration and approval. Senate should be represented on the CGNC for the discussion of the following awards.
The appointment process has been designed to reflect City’s commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion.
