Description

I led the development of a partnership agreement between UWS and St Mirren football club, to foster knowledge exchange, research opportunities, and professional development experiences for students and staff.

The partnership agreement received national media coverage, including a parliamentary motion by MSP for Paisley George Adam.

The partnership has since been included as a case study for the UWS 2030 strategy.
