Sheila Corry

In my role as Programme Assistant to CILASS I support the work of the departmental project leaders and champions as well as the core team.

I can be contacted by any departmental project leaders and champions if meetings need to be organised or indeed if I can help on any general CILASS related issues I will be happy to do so. Just send me an email or give me a call with any queries or plans that you would like me to become involved in.

For the core CILASS team my tasks include assisting with housekeeping matters such as ordering office equipment, organisation and administration of events, activities and visits. I also support the Programme Manager in administering the CILASS budget, act as the main reception point and arrange travel and accommodation for staff members.

Although CILASS has its own distinctive approach in its processes around departmental and individual bids for funding, my knowledge of the Learning and Teaching Development Grant procedures, gained through my work in the Teaching and Learning Support Unit, is very useful in this aspect of my role, from receiving initial bid applications to ultimately implementing and monitoring the financial arrangements and liaising with departmental project leaders.

It is very rewarding to be part of CILASS, as an innovative programme, from a more developmental stage, progressing through to our future place in the Information Commons. As the programme moves forward to to achieve aims and the objectives of CILASS, I am delighted to assist the CILASS community in meeting their requirements to place inquiry-based learning at the heart of the student learning experience.
