Dr Tara Cusack awarded a DRHEA Teaching Fellowship 18.05.12

Dr Tara Cusack, UCD School of Public Health, Physiotherapy and Population Science was recently awarded a DRHEA Teaching Fellowship. She will be working with four other colleagues from across the DRHEA on a cross-institution project to enhance the first year learning experience. This project will be of relevance to all higher education institutions within the DRHEA partnership. Work has already commenced on scoping the group Fellowship project, whose working title is: ‘What is the best First Year experience?-from the student and lecturing staff perspective - Social, Academic and Practical’. Over the coming months the Teaching Fellows will visit institutions to discuss and explore current approaches with academic colleagues and to disseminate the emergent issues from their work.

Further details of the DRHEA Fellowship project will be available on the DRHEA website in early May: www.drhea.ie
