On International Women’s Day, we announced our plan to rename the Teaching and Learning Building after an inspirational woman from history. Now’s your chance to get involved by helping us pick a name.
We’re looking for nominations of women who have made a significant contribution to teaching, learning or research. Nominations are particularly welcomed for women who have a link to the history of Nottingham and/or the University.
Professor Sarah Sharples, Pro-Vice-Chancellor Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, explained:
"The names of our buildings can remind us about our University history, but also affect our sense of inclusion in the present. Our commitment to delivering an inclusive University environment means that we need to think about diversity in the names of our buildings, and has prompted us to focus on women nominations for this important new building at the heart of our University Park campus. I look forward to receiving an inspirational set of names nominated by our University community."
All of the names put forward will be considered by a panel, who will decide on a shortlist. This shortlist will then be passed back to staff and students for a final vote later this month, with the subsequent formal recommendation provided to University Executive Board before the end of session.
To make your nomination, please fill in this form. If you’d like to nominate more than one person, you should use a separate form for each of them.
The deadline for nominations is Tuesday 21 May 2019.
