Book your place now for the second Student Success mini-seminar, to be held on Medway and Canterbury campuses next month (March).

The seminar, which will provide an overview of the student experience activities at Kent Business School by Kayleigh Bliss and Caroline Hawkett, will take place on:

• Wednesday 8 March 2017, Medway Campus, Sail and Colour Loft Building, Seminar Room 216, 13.00-14.00.
• Friday 10 March 2017, Canterbury Campus, Marlowe Building, Lecture Theatre 2, 13.00-14.00.

The purpose of the event is to share details about student experience at Kent and to allow colleagues from across the University to meet and exchange ideas.

The seminar will provide an overview of the adaptations applied at Kent Business School Medway as part of the Student Success Project. We will discuss the School’s approach to the project and the four overarching issues that have driven our work to date; Expectations, Non-attendance, Engagement and LTA practices.

We will provide further detail on the adaptations that have proven most successful – including the introduction of peer mentoring, student report cards and the pilot of an Academic Skills Development Week for stage one students. We will also discuss where activities haven’t had the desired impact and explore reasons for this.

All staff are invited to attend. To register your attendance please email Elizabeth Buswell.
