Y’all. I can’t. I joined @marjonuni a year ago next week (🤯), and it’s been one of the best and most challenging year’s of my life. To my mind, these noms tell you little about me and more about how wonderfully fabulous my students & colleagues are… 🫶

[Marjon English BA + MA ChYA @EnglishMarjon]

And this good egg is probably teaching a bit on English next year! 🎉

Students, you are VERY lucky!

[Selina Day @SDayEducation]

Blimey - Thank you! I am honoured. #LoveMyJob #Shocked

[Sarah Stevenson @SStevenson101]

Well this is a good day - the fabulous @MarjonFutures has also been nominated by students for Department of the Year in the @marjonuni Staff &Student Awards 2023. Very, very proud and should absolutely win #slightlybiasedboss

He’s a good egg. 😆

Wow! Feeling incredibly grateful this morning! A huge thank you for this nomination!

[Dr Leah Phillips @Le_phill]

I really do have the best students.

I'm utterly honoured they've nominated me for Lecturer of the Year - Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences...

And, I didn't even bribe them. ;-)

What are you reading? @Le_phill just started The Binding by Bridget Collins. It’s vibe and the weather here are colliding!

[Marjon English BA + MA ChYA @EnglishMarjon]

If you’re about & looking for something to do this eve, come hear @Le_phill, our very own programme lead, talk about her new book!

We’ve been assured she’ll say horrible things about Disney’s Cinderella(s) & wonderful things about a cross-dresser, cyborg, & shapeshifter…

@EnglishMarjon great interview on @BBCFrontRow between @SamiraAhmedUK and @TracyAnnO Perfect for our Re-imagining Shakespeare module. Highly recommended.
