ANU has honoured its finest teachers at the Vice-Chancellor's Awards for Excellence in Education.

Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) Professor Marnie Hughes-Warrington congratulated Dr Bruce Doran and Mr Dean Matthews, from the Fenner School of Environment and Society on receiving the inaugural award for Excellence in Indigenous Education.
