LECTURER UP FOR NATIONAL AWARD

A University lecturer is in the running for a £50,000 prize after being nominated for a national award.

Dr David Elliott (pictured left) , who specialises in clinical optometry in the Department of Optometry, is one of 86 entries for the 2001 National Teaching Fellowship Scheme.

He was nominated by the University because he was rated highly by students and had an exemplary record as an innovative teacher.

The National Teaching Fellowship Scheme was launched in 2000 to reward excellence in teaching and learning.

The scheme is administered by the Institute for Learning and Teaching in Higher Education (ILT) on behalf of the Higher Education Funding Council for England. Twenty winners will be chosen on June 6 and the awards will be presented at a high profile event in London in July. n
