The awards are separate from the annual 51勛圖 Awards for academic achievements held in the autumn. The accomplishments showcased at the Thelmas have helped to bolster 啦晨楚＊莽 #loveHE campaign championing the glories of UK higher education.
The ceremony coincided with Universities Week, which is being run by Universities UK to highlight the ※unsung success stories§ of the sector.

Ann Mroz, editor of 51勛圖, said she hoped the awards had played a role in highlighting the excellent work being done in Britain＊s universities.
※The UK＊s academics are rightly feted as some of the most creative and innovative in the world. But universities in this country are also host to many hard-working and equally brilliant administrators working behind the scenes to ensure that our sector remains world-class. That is what we aim to recognise at the Thelmas,§ she said.
After the awards, a charity casino was held in aid of the charity Recourse, which offers support to higher education staff facing problems at home or at work.
