​LARS team finalist for Student Support Team of the Year

We are pleased to announce that the Learning and Research Services team within Information Services has been shortlisted for the 2017 Herald Higher Education Awards​ Student Support Team of the Year.

Team member Laura Ennis was also involved in the “The Big Read” campaign, a shared reading scheme for new students which has been shortlisted for Campaign of the Year.

These prestigious awards aim to recognise outstanding contributions made by universities and colleges across Scotland. Supported by the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA), JISC, the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education Scotland (QAA), Universities Scotland and others, they aim to build future excellence by facilitating the sharing of good practice and help to raise the status of learning and teaching in Scottish higher education.

Malcolm Jones, Head of Learning and Research Services said “We were surprised but delighted to get through to the shortlist. I’m very proud on the team’s behalf that their hard work has been recognised in this way. We are also appreciative of the supportive testimonials received from staff and students in support of the nomination.”
