I received a Teaching Hero award at the recent USI Student Achievement Awards Ireland (SAAI) event.  The Awards are organised by the National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching & Learning in collaboration with the USI and other student unions nationwide.  The Awards scheme provides an opportunity for students across the county to recognise and celebrate outstanding teaching in our higher education institutions.
