Letizia Gramaglia becomes a Principal Fellow of the HEA
Congratulations to Dr Letizia Gramaglia, Head of Academic Development (ADC) and Director of the Warwick International Higher Education Academy (WIHEA), who has gained recognition as a Principal Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (HEA) through the Warwick Academic and Professional Pathway for Experienced Staff.
“I am absolutely delighted to receive this recognition – whilst it is classed as a personal achievement, it is first and foremost a testament to the invaluable support of excellent colleagues and inspiring mentors.
The process of applying for PFHEA has provided me with the opportunity to reflect further on my commitment to learning and teaching, my contribution to higher education, and my professional aspirations. Numerous conversations with critical friends have enabled me to articulate my strategic vision for academic development and recognise accomplishments, strengthening my awareness that leadership is most rewarding when grounded in collaboration with others.
I look forward to joining the wider community of PFHEAs and hope this will encourage others to pursue professional recognition.”
Principal Fellowships are awarded to highly experienced and/or senior staff with wide-ranging academic or academic-related strategic leadership responsibilities in connection with key aspects of teaching and supporting learning. They have responsibility for institutional strategic leadership and policymaking in the area of teaching and learning.
