Sabhal Mòr Ostaig course leader recognised in 2023 HISA Awards
Congratulations to Dr Iain MacPherson, course leader of the PDA Gaelic Translation course at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, who was named as this year’s Most Inspiring Lecturer in the 2023 Highlands and Islands Students’ Association Awards. The student-led awards recognise staff and students who have gone above and beyond. The initiative gives students the chance to thank those who have inspired and supported them during their studies.

A former student of the course commented, “Iain has such enthusiasm for translating and went over and above his duty as lecturer to get us to translate to the best of our ability. He also gave us great confidence that we were actually capable of translating even very complicated texts of different styles and genres. He also made the classes extremely entertaining and enjoyable.”

We also wish to congratulate Shona Cormack, Head of Teacher Education at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, who was Highly Commended in this year’s awards for Best Research or Dissertation Supervisor.
