There were a number of awards presented during the evening to honour EuroCHRIE colleagues and organisations. The proceedings were opened by Richard Ginioux – Chair of the Awards Committee.
The Laureate Hospitality Achievement Award is sponsored by Laureate Hospitality Education, honours an educator or trainer for outstanding achievement in contributing innovative ideas, methods or programs that have advanced teaching, learning or practice in the field of hospitality education or training.
The Laureate Hospitality Achievement Award went to Stephanie Jameson Teacher Fellow at Leeds Beckett University in the UK – Unfortunately Stephanie was unable to be at the conference.
Stephanie is a Principal Lecturer for Academic Integrity at Leeds Beckett University. She was the first ‘Academic Conduct Officer’ at the University and led her Faculty in designing processes and procedures to prevent and detect academic misconduct.
She piloted the Leeds Mets Unfair Practice Board and supported the implementation of a new university tariff on academic misconduct. She chaired the working party which revised the ‘Leeds Met Little Book of Plagiarism’. Stephanie has recently been made Chair of the newly formed Academic Integrity Group and is a University Teacher Fellow, based on her work on promoting academic integrity in her University.
She has won a Teaching Quality Enhancement bid to produce two DVDs on plagiarism financially supported by the Higher Education Academy and another bid for a ‘Curriculum Innovation’ project which has resulted in an open learning resource to help students to reference properly to avoid plagiarism.
She has presented papers on academic integrity at the Teaching and Learning Forum at Edith Cowan University in Australia and at the 6th International Integrity and Plagiarism conference organised by Turnitin/iParadigms.
