Student Excellence Award from Ulster University Students' Union
Today Natalie Hegarty (my PhD student) and George Martin were awarded the Jordan Kennedy Award, a Student Excellence Award from Ulster University Students' Union, Northern Ireland for their charitable contribution to the local community in Derry while undertaking their PhDs. Over the last year they raised money for the Little Orchids Nursery in Derry who provide therapeutic intervention for children with special needs and support for their parents. They also started a society to get more students out and volunteering in the local community. Congratulations Natalie and George.
