🏆Marjon researchers celebrate double success at international strength and conditioning conference 🏆

Researchers and students from Plymouth Marjon University received international recognition after winning two awards at the International Universities Strength and Conditioning Association (IUSCA) Conference in Leeds.

Supported by funding from Curriculum Connected Research & Knowledge Exchange (CCRKE), the team presented two research posters linked to an ongoing project exploring jumping biomechanics.

MSc Sport and Exercise Science student Leo Sinclair received the Best Student Poster Award for his presentation, highlighting the quality of postgraduate research at Marjon. The team's second poster, presented by research collaborator Dr Lee Bridgeman from Southampton Solent University, won the Best Applied Poster Award, recognising the practical impact and real-world relevance of the research.

The project brought together staff, students and collaborators from Plymouth Marjon University, Cardiff Metropolitan University, Southampton Solent University, Texas Tech University and the University of Pittsburgh.

Dr Tommy Bright, Senior Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Science at Plymouth Marjon University, said: "As a University, we are committed to supporting student researchers and creating opportunities for postgraduate students to present their work to international audiences.

"To see our work recognised with two awards at an international conference is a fantastic achievement for everyone involved. It demonstrates the strength of collaboration across institutions, and our shared commitment to producing research that has genuine impact for practitioners working in the field."

First in family to attend university, Marjon student achieves First-Class Honours🎓

A Plymouth Marjon University student will graduate with a First-Class Honours degree in Football Coaching & Development, becoming the first person in his family to complete a university degree.

Jack Hall described the achievement as one of the proudest moments of his life, not only for himself but also for the family who supported him throughout his journey.

He said: "Being the first person in my family to go to university is something I'm really proud of. It's a big achievement for me, but also something that I know means a lot to my family. Nobody in my immediate family had been through the university experience before, so it was all new to us.

"Looking back now, especially after finishing with First-Class Honours, it makes me realise how far I've come and how much the support from my family has helped me get here. Hopefully it can also show other people that university is possible, even if you're the first in your family to take that step."

The Football Coaching & Development graduate spoke warmly about the support he received from academic staff, particularly his dissertation supervisor, Dr Ben Moreland.

He said: "Your guidance, patience and continuous support have been invaluable. Your feedback challenged me to think more critically and pushed me out of my comfort zone, helping me develop academically and personally."

Jack highlighted the importance of friendship in shaping his university experience, describing his fellow students as "like brothers" and credited them with helping him stay at university during difficult moments.

Finally, he paid tribute to his parents, grandparents and brothers, saying: "Your unconditional love, support and encouragement have been the foundation of everything I have achieved. This achievement is as much yours as it is mine."

"I'm not exactly sure what comes next, but I'm excited to find out. For now, I'm just going to enjoy this moment. There will only ever be one first Hall to complete university."

Congratulations Jack, from everyone at 🥳

News: Plymouth Marjon University’s inaugural Chancellor, the Rt Rev’d Nick McKinnel, concludes term of office

Bishop Nick will be stepping down as Chancellor after a distinguished chapter of service to the University. Throughout his time as Chancellor, he has been a trusted ambassador, friend and inspiration to the University community.

His warmth, wisdom and deep commitment to education have made him a familiar and valued presence at graduations, celebrations and milestones throughout the years. Thousands of students have crossed the graduation stage under his stewardship, benefitting from his encouragement and genuine interest in their aspirations and achievements.

Professor Claire Taylor, Vice-Chancellor of Plymouth Marjon University, said: "Nick's kindness, humility and unwavering commitment to others have touched countless lives across our University community. He has celebrated our successes, supported us through challenges and always placed people at the heart of his service. It has been a privilege to work alongside him, and we thank him sincerely for everything he has given to Marjon."

As former Bishop of Plymouth and a long-standing champion of the region, Nick brought to the role a profound understanding of Marjon's unique character and purpose. Having served on the University's Board of Governors from 2015 to 2021 before becoming Chancellor, he played an important role in helping strengthen the University's connections with local communities, schools, churches and civic partners.
