This year’s Vice-Chancellor’s Awards celebrate exceptional contributions made by colleagues in the areas of collegiality, quality, internationalisation and sustainability. This short series of articles will share what makes the teams and individual winners special.
Individual award – Linden McKenzie. Digital Marketing Systems Officer.
The nomination for Linden included the wording:
Linden demonstrates collegiality as it is the partnerships he fosters which enable him to deliver high quality, holistic solutions for the University. Linden ensures that differing stakeholder views from across the University are represented.
Linden is a great colleague. He pursues positive outcomes by finding out what would make life better for users. Day-to-day, he takes time to work with and explain both the big and small picture to staff, connecting decisions and ideas to help ensure the business makes good choices. Linden’s continued dedication to his work and his approach to educating his network is a role model for collegiality.
Following the award Linden commented:
“It’s a pleasure to work with such a wide variety of staff across the institution. Anything involving web always involves a lot of hard work and dedication from a lot of different people, and it’s due to this that we’ve been able to take such big steps forward in the last year.”
