Wall of Fame for people with commitment and passion UCN Technology and Business recognises students and staff who have made a special effort within their field, institution or for their fellow students. These could be people who have used their achieved knowledge and reflection have used their abilities to generate new ideas.   Or they could be people who with their personal insight and development have succeeded in creating long lasting relations and collaboration across the organisation and even reahing into the business community.   As part of their acknowledgement, we prepare a text with a photo of these commited, passio-nate people to be hung on our Wall of Fame noticeboards at each campus. Wall of Fame fur-thermore reflects "The whole person".
