SACAs 2018 Shortlist

The Student Academic Choice Awards - or SACAs for short - are Imperial College Union's flagship event for empowering students to recognise, reward and celebrate excellence amongst College staff. This year we achieved the highest ever number of nominations, with nearly 2,000 nominations cast. This year our student panellists had their work cut out for them as they sifted through your nominations to select the six best nominees in each of the eight categories, who are now the 2018 SACAs Shortlistees.

Did your SACA Nominee make the 2018 Shortlist? Spread the word - using the #icuSACAs hashtag!

  • All nominees receive the famous SACAs Mug, (a token of pride for anyone nominated!)
  • All Shortlistees also win a framed certificate
  • The eight SACAs Winners receive a trophy on the night.

All Shortlistees will be invited to the 2018 SACAs Ceremony, held in the Union Building on the evening of 18 May, where the winner of each category will be revealed! Each Shortlistee can be found below.
