Dr Melanie Garson wins UCL Provost Education Award
14 June 2023
In recognition of her work in supporting students' employability, Melanie has been recognised at this year's UCL Education Awards.
Staff and students from across UCL came together on Wednesday 7 June on the Wilkins Terrace to celebrate the staff who go the extra mile to support student learning.
The UCL Education Awards recognise outstanding work that enhances learning, and improves student outcomes experience; work that has enabled excellence or facilitated innovation in teaching and learning.
The awards were presented by UCL's President & Provost, Dr Michael Spence and Professor Kathy Armour, Vice-Provost Education and Student Experience, and Hamza Ahmed, the Students' Union Education Sabbatical Officer.
49 individual and 22 team nominations were put forward by faculties. Out of these, 8 individuals and one team were nominated.
We are delighted (but not surprised!) that Dr Melanie Garson was jointly awarded the Provost’s Education Award for supporting students' employability.
Melanie was jointly awarded alongside Nikki Baxter, UCL VP ESE.
Melanie spearheaded both the department’s annual Careers Week, and a thriving LinkedIn group helping alumni and recent graduates to find career opportunities and advice.
