AdvanceHE fellowship recipients celebrated

The staff, who achieved these fellowships in either 2021 or 2022, were celebrated for their achievements at ceremonies across the three campuses this week, as well as at an online celebration.

The internationally recognised AdvanceHE programme aims to improve higher education across the world for staff, students and society. Teaching staff choose to participate in these self-driven pathways to assess and advance their teaching practice.  

Professor in Sport and Physical Education Andy Martin has become the second ever Massey academic to be awarded the Principal Fellowship. 

Principal Fellowships are the highest level of recognition available and are given to people who have a sustained record of effective strategic leadership in academic practice and make a key contribution to high quality student learning. College of Humanities and Social Science’s Director of Teaching and Learning Professor Lisa Emerson is Massey’s other Principal Fellow.

“The HEA award provided an international context to critically analyse my teaching, scholarship and leadership to further enhance students’ learning experiences,” Professor Martin says.

“This award also acknowledges Massey University's international commitment to excellence in work-integrated learning, which was formalised by the signing of a global charter promoting the area in 2019. Becoming a principal fellow allows me to mentor this community of academics who are committed to excellence in this practice.”

Nine staff were granted Senior Fellowships, 47 were awarded Fellowships and a further 39 achieved Associate Fellowships.

“It is fantastic to see so many Massey staff putting in the effort to improve their teaching and leadership,” Director of the Teaching Academy Associate Professor Maggie Hartnett says. 

“To be able to celebrate them is a special occasion, especially after Covid-19 cancelled last year’s event. The recipients were invited to bring their line managers to the event as a way of acknowledging this self-driven professional development.”
