This year, the School Director of Graduate Studies (DoGS) prize was awarded to Dr Catherine Robinson<\/a> from Kent Business School\u2019s<\/a> (KBS).<\/p>\n \u2018The DoGS (Taught) role involves so many aspects of our core activity and I now have a better appreciation of how the university machine works. Since I began in this role, student numbers have grown, our postgraduate programmes have changed and we have launched two new exciting programmes at Medway. Throughout this period of change, <\/em>Martin Meyer,\u00a0<\/a>Dean of the Business School, has provided me with direction and guidance.\u2019\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n \u2018I was delighted to be awarded the Graduate School Prize particularly because it was lovely to be nominated by those I work with.\u00a0 The support from <\/em>Tamsin Harris<\/a> and <\/em>Lyndsay Whiting<\/a> is amazing; they have made it fun and have shown incredible patience with me, especially when I first started.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n I\u2019m grateful also to <\/em>Marian Garcia<\/a>, my mentor and line manager \u2013 she held the job before I, and has been unstintingly supportive.\u00a0 In addition, my counterpart at <\/em>undergraduate<\/a> level, \u2013 <\/em>Zita Stone<\/a> – is wonderful; acting as a sounding board and critical friend as we try to progress education and student experience in our school. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n School Manager, <\/em>Paul Verrion<\/a> and <\/em>Charlotte Lynsdale<\/a> in KBS Admissions have also given me tremendous support and guidance.\u00a0 My role involves working with so many of my colleagues in KBS; it\u2019s a real team effort, so I see that this is more recognition for our collective efforts!\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n KBS has a large postgraduate<\/a> community, approximately 350 students on 9 programmes, led by directors who are experts in their fields. Catherine explained \u2018We have masters students with us for such a short time but we are all committed to ensuring they have the best possible learning experience, setting them on the road to lifelong learning.\u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n Find out more about studying at postgraduate level<\/a> with us<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Director of Graduate Studies, Dr Catherine Robinson is awarded a Graduate School prize.
