Hi! I’m Craig Ward, your Argyll Depute President. I’m studying part-time, as a mature student, toward an HND in Horticulture. I’m keen to see UHI Argyll become more fully integrated into the larger UHI framework, with increased opportunities for students to progress into Higher Education, while remaining based in Argyll. I’m working to create partnerships with local organisations and businesses, in the hope that might open up access to leisure facilities and both career- and personal development opportunities. The geographical and infrastructural challenges of Argyll can be a real obstacle to these, but an obstacle I believe can be overcome.
I’m available to chat at Dunoon Learning Centre (second Tuesday of each month) and online (every fourth Thursday) and will be visiting all the learning centres during the course of the year.
