Advising through the Transitions: Enabling Student Success through Shared Understanding
The conference focuses on advising students through transitions in further and higher education, highlighting how our institutions can use integrated approaches that combine curriculum and professional services to enable this ambition. The conference will bring together college and university staff and students to explore how, through advising, our curriculum and support services can improve the transition for students moving from schools and colleges to university and beyond. Are universities aware of student expectations from school and college, and do those in the schools and colleges really know what is required at university? How do we advise and support students through new challenges that they face? How do we advise students who are moving on to prepare them for the next stage of their journey? And how do we prepare our staff to think differently to address issues with which they may be unfamiliar?
