Webinar - Moments and meetings that changed our advising practice - UKAT/LVSA Symposium - Thursday, December 15, 2022

After two successful online symposia with our Dutch colleagues of LVSA, in 2020 and 2021, we are organising another online LVSA-UKAT symposium at the end of this year.
This edition of the symposium once more revolves around by collegial exchange, in which meeting and connecting with colleagues from elsewhere will be at least as important as the topics we are discussing. With colleagues from the Netherlands, Flanders and perhaps even more countries, we will share the moments and meetings that have inspired us this year, that have broadened our perspective on personal tutoring and academic advising, and that enriched our approach. What have you read, seen and heard this year that made you look at the work of a personal tutor or academic advisor differently, and maybe even inspired you to try a new approach?

This webinar is free to attend and open to all    Register to attend
