A number of competitions over the year acknowledged both the effort and endeavours of UCD athletes and those who support them.<\/p>\n<p>In January 2019, UCD President, Professor Andrew J Deeks, announced the UCD Teaching and Learning Awardees for the 2018 calendar year. Awards for Outstanding Contribution to Student Learning recognise individual staff or teams including staff and faculty, who have made outstanding contributions to student learning in a specific area. This year, UCD Sport staff Suzanne Bailey, Paula Cashman and Georgina Dwyer, were presented with a team award for Outstanding Contribution to Student Learning.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Deeks, speaking about the awardees and those nominated said: <em>\u201cIt is wonderful to see that the effort that goes into providing educational excellence for our students is brought to light through these awards, both in terms of the nominations and the inspirational work of the awardees. Congratulations to all.\u201d<\/em> In March 2019, the Bank of Ireland UCD Athletic Union Council Sport Awards ceremony took place at the UCD Student Centre. Almost 400 students from 21 different sports clubs were honoured for their sporting achievements over the last year. A number of special awards were presented on the night.<\/p>\n<p>The Dr Tony O\u2019Neill Sportsperson of the Year Award was given to the World Under 23 Irish Lightweight gold medallists Shane Mulvaney and David O\u2019Malley. Crowned SSE Airtricity League First Division team in September 2018, the men\u2019s soccer team was promoted to the Premier Division, earning them the title of UCD Elite Team of the year.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alumni.ucd.ie\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Suzanne-BaileyPaula-Cashman_Teaching-and-Learning-Awards.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1168 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/alumni.ucd.ie\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Suzanne-BaileyPaula-Cashman_Teaching-and-Learning-Awards-300x240.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alumni.ucd.ie\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Suzanne-BaileyPaula-Cashman_Teaching-and-Learning-Awards-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alumni.ucd.ie\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Suzanne-BaileyPaula-Cashman_Teaching-and-Learning-Awards-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/alumni.ucd.ie\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Suzanne-BaileyPaula-Cashman_Teaching-and-Learning-Awards-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/alumni.ucd.ie\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Suzanne-BaileyPaula-Cashman_Teaching-and-Learning-Awards.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>The Ladies Hockey Club won Elite Club of the Year for both their win at the University Championship (Chilean Cup), and their superb organisation off the field.
