> 'Innovations in Supporting the First Year Student Experience'
>
> It is increasingly recognised that the transition into higher
> education is central to success in HE. The first year integrates
> students into their universities and colleges academically and
> socially, it develops students as HE learners and it creates
> motivation and commitment to their field of study. Furthermore, the
> majority of students who leave higher education early do so during
> the first year.

> 20 September 2006. The Lakeside Centre, Aston, Birmingham.

> Our May conference at The John McIntyre Centre, University of
> Edinburgh proved to be so popular that it has been decided to rerun
> this event in September with only slight changes to the original
> programme.
>
> Professor Mantz Yorke and Professor Bernard Longden will again be
> giving keynotes including updates on initial findings from their
> surveys. Professor Lee Harvey will also present further findings
> from The Higher Education Academy's literature review on the first
> year experience. Plus the discussion and workshop groups providing
> delegates with opportunities to learn about how other institutions
> are enhancing the first year experience, and to share practices
> from their own institutions.
