Why I joined the UCD Innovation Academy…
“After being a student on two of the Academy’s programmes, I saw the impact and reach of these courses. I love the Academy’s fresh approach to education, and particularly its emphasis on experiential learning and having a bit of fun along the way! I’m delighted to be joining such a diverse and driven group of educators and look forward to being part of the Academy’s story.”
