ARU Alumni to ARU College Lecturer: Denise Sparrow’s Story

Denise Sparrow’s journey with ARU has come full circle. She first joined the university in the early 1990s as a Legal Practice Administrator in the Law Department. Working closely with law students reignited her passion for learning, and so she began studying part-time for a BA (Hons) in Business and European Studies in 1994. Years later, Denise has returned to ARU College to teach and support our students. We asked her to share a little about herself and why she loves teaching at ARU!
