2013 Peer Leader Award Announced
For the second year running, a Curtin University UniPASS Peer Learning Facilitator has won an Outstanding New Leader award at the Australasian Peer Leader Awards.
Ms Terri da Costa, a Health Science student and mother of 6, is being recognised for her outstanding contribution to student and peer learning, and her exemplary demonstration of commitment and leadership to the UniPASS program. She, along with four other category winners, will be formally presented with her award courtesy of The National Centre for PASS at this year’s 9th Annual PASS Forum in Sydney, hosted by the University of Wollongong.
Catherine Unite, Director of the University College Learning Center at the University of Texas at Arlington, adjudicated the awards, and stated that the number of outstanding submissions each year makes the process increasingly challenging. “As international adjudicator, it was a privilege to review such outstanding entries which reflect the wonderful work of the peer educators from the Australasian region.”
Other award winners include:
- Mr Akaash Prasad, Fiji National University
- Miss Kelsea Clingeleffer, University of Tasmania
