Lifelong learning is an ongoing and self-motivated pursuit of knowledge, which involves passion and dedication in your field of interest. We are happy and proud to announce that Avalon’s executive dean, Dr. Sateesh Arja, has recently received the Principal Fellowship (PFHEA) from the Higher Education/Advance HE, the U.K., which shows an active commitment to and championing all dimensions of the framework by working with students, staff and institution developments. Principal Fellowship is given for highly experienced and senior staff with the wide-ranging academic, or academic-related strategic leadership responsibilities connected with key aspects of teaching and supporting learning. It also demonstrates successful, strategic leadership to enhance student learning, with a particular, but not necessarily exclusive, focus on enhancing teaching quality in institutional and or international/national settings. PFHEA also consolidates the personal development and evidence of influencing other colleagues’ professional practice in the higher education career. Great job to Dr. Arja, and congratulations!
