Dear Jason,

 

Thank you for your timely message.

 

I represent UKAT (http://www.ukat.uk), the United Kingdom Advising and Tutoring group, a professional body of practitioners and researchers interested in all aspects of advising and personal tutoring in HE in the UK. You are right; many of our members are currently involved in projects in their institutions to revise their models of personal tutoring. We would warmly encourage any interested parties to engage with our membership to share practice and experiences.

 

UKAT has its next annual conference on 5-6 April 2017, with a theme of Making a Difference to Student Success – Inspiring Students Through Advising and Personal Tutoring. Details of the conference and a call for proposals can be found at http://www.ukat.uk/conference and we would very much welcome the contributions of any SEDA colleagues and those who attend your event.

 

Unfortunately I will not be able to attend your event myself due to teaching commitments that day. I will endeavour to have a UKAT representative attend and, if you like, provide a presentation around the activities of UKAT and how we are supporting the development of tutoring and student support in the UK.

 

Kind regards,

David
