The Shannon Consortium, a collaborative alliance between UL, MIC, and LIT, aims to showcase and champion outstanding practice in higher education teaching from across the Shannon Region through the Shannon Consortium Regional Teaching Award process.  Out of many interested faculty from across the consortium, eight academics were ultimately shortlisted for this award.  All shortlisted candidates were required to put themselves through the very rigorous process of compiling a detailed portfolio of evidence according to the agreed Shannon Consortium guidelines.  An external panel met this week to consider the applications and decide on a winner.
 
The winner of the SC Regional Teaching Award for 2013/14 is Dr Lisa O’Malley, KBS.
 
Lisa was presented with her award by Prof. Don Barry at a reception on Wed. 30^th April in the Graduate Attributes’ Hub.
