Congratulations to the four new BU Learning and Teaching Fellows who start their role this month. Camila Devis-Rozental (FMC), Nicole Ferdinand (FM), Karen Thompson (FM) and Steve Trenoweth (FHSS) will each be embarking on funded projects around education.

The aims of the BU Learning and Teaching Fellowship Award are to:
• Recognise and celebrate excellent achievement and/or innovation in the support of student learning through fusion;
• Improve the quality of the student learning experience through the dissemination of good practice;
• Promote a culture of scholarship and reflective practice;
• Increase the number of publishable outcomes from pedagogic activity and research;
• Increase the number of National Teaching Fellows at BU.

L&T Fellows are funded in their first year to develop projects or innovative education practice that will have a positive impact on student learning. These will be disseminated across BU through, for example, CELebrate and other internal events and externally through a conference paper or academic journal article, running a workshop or seminar, or collaboration with other universities.
