Spotlight on... Anne Preston

spotlight_anne_preston.jpg - Meet Anne Preston, Associate Professor (Teaching) and UCL East and Co-Lead for the Entrepreneurship Community of Practice. We find out about Anne's enduring love of education, why Mondays make her happy, and that she's been keeping mum about links to a UCL dynasty! - What is your role and what does it involve?. I'm C o-Lead of the Entrepreneurship Community of Practice and  an Associate Professor (Teaching), part of the UCL East Programme, which is not an academic degree programme but the big project responsible for bringing UCL's new campus on the Olympic Park in east London into fruition. We're an interdisciplinary team of planning, operations, comms, lab management, marketing, project management and of course, academic programme delivery, which is the bit that I lead. I know a lot of people say this, but really, every day is different for me. One day I can be running an online workshop on developing interdisciplinary curricula or I can be participating in a community-based workshop in Newham as a collaborator with an academic team or supporting programmes in a marketing and recruitment meeting. There is of course PMAP (Programme and Module Amendment Panel) and all that is approval of programmes.
