Staff recognised in New Year’s Honours list
Two members of University staff have been recognised in the Queen’s New Year’s Honours list.
The list recognises the achievements and service of extraordinary people across the United Kingdom.
Equality champion
Professor Rowena Arshad, former Head of Moray House School of Education and Sport, was awarded a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE).
Professor Arshad is also Co-Director of the Centre for Education for Racial Equality in Scotland. Her award recognises services to education and equality.
Food Security
Professor Helen Sang, Personal Chair of Vertebrate Molecular Development at the Roslin Institute, has received an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE).
Her honour is for services to food security and bioscience for health.
I am really pleased to be recognised for my contributions to bioscience research. The UK is world-leading in bioscience research and the work of UKRI-BBSRC and the many people from Universities and industry who support it are key to this success.
