In memoriam: Professor Lorna Unwin
Professor Unwin sadly passed away in late December 2024.
Lorna joined the Board in July 2024 and quickly made a major contribution to our thinking. The Trust benefitted greatly from her deep knowledge of vocational education and passion to help people realise their potential. As fellow trustees we also enjoyed her insights, enthusiasm, and humour.
Lorna Unwin was Professor Emerita (Vocational Education) at the UCL Institute of Education, London, and represented the University of London on the board of trustees.
She was a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences and an Honorary Fellow at both the National Institute of Economic and Social Research and University Campus Oldham. In 2014, Lorna was awarded an OBE and awarded a Fellowship of the City and Guilds of London Institute in 2005, both for services to vocational education.
