School of Education – Open Learning Autumn/New Year Programme 2012/’13 1 Edith Newman-Devlin, in Memoriam It is with great sadness that we record the death of our esteemed lecturer, Dr Edith Newman- Devlin, who passed away on 2nd July, 2012. Edith taught in the Department of French before dedicating over forty years to continuing education and Open Learning. Her World Literature series was legendary, attracting hundreds of students each year. Edith's charm, wit, erudition and sheer passion for literature made her an outstanding lecturer. She will be greatly missed by her loyal students and by the staff of the School of Education. We extend our sincere sympathy to her husband, Peter, and to her family and friends. Tess Maginess, Cathal McManus and the Open Learning Team The Bridget Sarah Hurson Memorial Bursary The bursary is being established in memory of Bridget Sarah Hurson, late mother of Dr Tess Maginess and Ms Edna Gibson. Two bursaries, valued at £200 each, will be awarded this academic year. One will be awarded to a student facing financial hardship who wishes to enrol in any Open Learning course. The other bursary will be used to subvent the cost of any course of particular merit which would not otherwise run, as agreed by the family and the School of Education. Individual applicants should make a written submission of no more than 300 words detailing how the award would enable them to participate in an Open Learning Programme. The closing date of applications is Friday 7 September. The award will be made in two instalments. A sum equal to the amount of the fees payable will be paid at the beginning of the course; the balance will be paid at the end of the course and will be dependent on the recipient attending 70% of classes. Applications should be sent to the Open Learning Office, School of Education, Queen’s University, 20 College Green Belfast BT7 1LN and will be considered by a panel drawn from the School and the family.
