Professors Eileen Tipoe and Luigi Ventimiglia recognised with Principal Fellowship (PFHEA)
Queen Mary University of London is celebrating the achievements of Eileen Tipoe and Luigi Ventimiglia, who have both recently been awarded Principal Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy (PFHEA).
Principal Fellowship is the highest level of recognition within the HEA framework and is currently held by fewer than 2% of higher education professionals in the UK. At Queen Mary, there were only 21 Principal Fellows prior to this year, including just three within the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, and only one in the School of Economics and Finance.
The award acknowledges individuals who have shown sustained and effective strategic leadership in teaching and learning across higher education. This includes shaping institutional policies, leading major educational initiatives, and influencing teaching practices within and beyond their own institutions.
Eileen and Luigi’s recognition marks an important milestone for the School and the wider Faculty, underlining Queen Mary’s continued commitment to excellence and innovation in teaching and learning.
