Dean’s Award: Teacher of the Year

January 30, 2019 By Prof. Sandra Sünram-Lea

I am delighted to share some photographs from the Dean’s Awards celebratory dinner which was held last week. The Award winners in nine categories were announced last December to coincide with the Christmas Conference, and I was surprised and thrilled to be among them. Last week we were invited to celebrate our success at an evening dinner in the Private Dining Rooms.  Many thanks to the Psychology Department and to the staff who nominated me.
