Three UCD law lecturers win university recognition

Three lecturers at UCD Sutherland School of Law have been recognised with teaching and learning awards this year.

Suzanne Egan and Dr Niamh Howlin received a university Teaching Excellence Award and a college Teaching Excellence Award respectively, which are awarded to individual members of teaching staff for sustained commitment to teaching excellence and student learning.

Meanwhile, James McDermott received a university Award for Outstanding Contribution to Student Learning, which recognises UCD faculty, staff, tutors or demonstrators who have made contributions to student learning in a specific area.

There were 73 awards made at college level, and 13 at university level, following 1,675 nominations across UCD.

The College of Law and Social Sciences awards were presented in June by Professor Colin Scott.
