Queen’s academic ‘No 1’ educator

Belfast: An enterprising academic from Queen’s University Management School has been named the ‘No 1’ enterprise educator in the world.

David Gibson, from Ballinderry, is the first person in Europe to receive the accolade, from the United States Association of Small Business and Entrepreneurship.

He was recognised for his work in promoting enterprise education throughout Queen’s, the UK’s Entrepreneurial University of the Year in 2009. His work has seen him introduce a model of enterprise teaching into courses not traditionally associated with enterprise, including nursing and the arts.
