But it is not only your professional accomplishments that we celebrate here today but also your kindness, compassion and empathy and your capacity to play your part in creating a safe space for students and learners and in supporting them so that they have felt valued, respected and empowered\u201d, commented Eileen Curtis.<\/span><\/p>\n
