Community Awards
Recognising the positive impacts the members of the Faculty have made on one another.
The Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology (FEIT) Community Awards aims to inspire, encourage and support our community by identifying and celebrating its students, student clubs, professional and academic staff who have made a significant impact to our community.
The FEIT Community Awards is a nominator-driven process, so we encourage you to nominate someone who has gone above and beyond to support those around them. This may be someone who has helped you directly or who you know has been a pillar of support for others in the community.
