Provost's Professional Staff Awards
The Provost's Professional Staff Awards acknowledge the contribution of exceptional professional staff, including all administrative, technical and support staff employed in Trinity College Dublin, the University of Dublin.
The awards create a formal process to celebrate outstanding contributions by Trinity’s professional staff, providing a high profile example of how Trinity delivers its mission of encouraging all to achieve their full potential.
These annual awards are an opportunity to celebrate Trinity’s professional staff whose hard work, creativity and dedication are an important element in the continuing success of the University.
They provide an opportunity to capture and promote enhancement initiatives that are ongoing at local level, but which may not be known or recognised beyond the local area.
