Times Higher Education Leadership & Management Awards 2016 shortlist announced

There’s almost no corner of a university that could not be deemed mission-critical. Every unit, from the small to the large, the unsung to the high-profile, must play its part if the institution is to thrive. The Times Higher Education Leadership and Management Awards (Thelmas) 2016 recognise the teams whose awareness, application and vision create an environment in which staff and students can excel. The winners will be announced on Thursday 23 June at a ceremony at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London.
