UNE Centre repeats 'Quality' performance
| Date 13/11/03 No 203/03 Tamworth Chamber of Commerce’s Quality Business Awards is a major annual event in Tamworth. Now, to the delight of the University of New England, its UNE Tamworth Centre is on its way to a hat trick of wins in the Education Employment and Training Category. Following on from the UNE Tamworth Centre’s win last year, on Friday November 7 2003 it was recognised for the high quality of its service to students in the Tamworth area once again. For the past 48 years UNE has had an office in Tamworth that has provided advice and assistance to prospective students as well as support for current students. The centre is fitted out with state-of-the-art facilities that provide UNE students with resources to conduct research on the Web and complete assignment work in the computer labs, as well as the ability to form study/support groups and study in quiet areas.

The Centre is coordinated by Margaret Keane and she has been congratulated by UNE's Access Centres Operations Manager, Frances Kelly, who said: “Margaret’s dedication and commitment to both the Centre and the students is to be acknowledged and applauded.” Frances Kelly also congratulated the campus-based staff, who continued to support the students through workshops and tutorials, for their contribution to the award-winning Centre. “We would not be so successful if we didn’t have the continued support of these people,” she said. Future plans for the Centre include the completion of the basement floor of Peel House. Work is to begin in the next 4-6 weeks and includes another lecture room that seats 100, a second teaching room, and a flexible study room for UNE students. Once the work is completed, UNE will be providing two floors of facilities for both UNE students and the wider Tamworth community.
