Harper Adams University - Prospectus 2024

Dr LynnMacintyre ArchieHomer “Food safety sits at the heart of so many aspects of food technology, and I relish the challenge of getting students to appreciate its importance.“ Dr Lynn Macintyre’s career in food safety has taken her across the globe and she brings that experience to her ongoing teaching and research. “I see that lightbulb moment for many students happening during a case study, an industry guest lecture, a factory visit or on placement. I run a lot of practical sessions in my module teaching to engage students in ‘real life’ activities (including health and safety!), and use results generated by students for assessments as well. Wearing a lab coat and safety specs is second nature to me and I want my students to feel as comfortable in that environment as they do in other food- related activities and environments.” When he’s not carrying out visiting lecturer duties teaching eBusiness, Digital Business and Information Systems to undergraduate students, Archie Homer’s main vocation is as a digital projects manager for Lighthouse, a digital solutions company specialising in web design and digital marketing. Archie project manages all aspects of delivering a digital business solution, including client management and technical implementation, and brings this wide variety of experience to the classroom, giving students practical examples of how the theory is applied in the “real world” and what success (or not) looks like. At Harper Adams, we truly value real-world experience. Not only do we ensure you get plenty of it during your placement year, but we also make sure our staff have been immersed in the industries we serve. We invite professionals from across our extensive network in to support and guide you, and we take every opportunity to either bring the latest developments into the classroom or take you out to experience them first hand. These pages show just a few of the many examples of howwe make sure you are learning in and with the real world. e be your guide HARPER.AC.UK | 95
