SMFA Lecturer in Fine Art, Andy Conio, has received an Above and Beyond Award from Kent Union. Students commended him on his passion for the subject, inspirational teaching, support and motivation. His carefully structured, engaging classes create a non-judgemental atmosphere, and he also organised critical writing workshops, listened to student concerns and ensured these were reflected in a reorganised timetable, helping students to better manage workloads and planning.

The awards recognise tutors who have exceeded expectations and gone “above and beyond” to enhance the student experience.
