Louise Hodgson is programme director of The Undergraduate Awards, an initiative founded in Ireland in 2008 to celebrate students who propose fresh arguments and new approaches and provide an opportunity to accelerate their ideas on a global platform. From humble beginnings, The Undergraduate Awards has rapidly expanded to include top-tier universities across the globe, and receives the official patronage of the President of Ireland, Michael D. Higgins. The annual Undergraduate Awards Summit which involves workshops and think-ins with these bright young minds has been described as 'a Davos for students'. Louise was previously editor of Who's Who in Irish Business 2008-2010; Most Influential US-Irish Business Leaders 2008 and editor of Life Sciences Review. She lives in Dublin.
