On Monday, April 7, I had the honour of attending the UKAT Annual Conference 2025, themed “Shaping the Future of Personal Tutoring and Academic Advising in Higher Education.” Representing Manchester Metropolitan University and the student voice at this national forum was both a privilege and a profound responsibility. Engaging in meaningful conversations about the evolving landscape of academic support, I was inspired by the collective commitment to fostering inclusive and supportive educational environments. The conference underscored the vital role of student perspectives in shaping policies and practices that directly impact our academic journeys. Being part of this dialogue reinforced my belief in the power of collaboration between students and educators to drive positive change in higher education.
