FAILING STUDENTS IN HE - SYMPOSIUM
15th/16th July 1999
LANCASTER UNIVERSITY
Organised jointly by Lancaster's Higher Education Development Centre
and Counselling Service.
With ever greater numbers and diversity of students, growing financial
and academic pressures on students and increasing accountability of
institutions to quality and funding bodies it seems a timely moment to
address this issue.
The symposium is designed with practitioners in mind: anyone who as
teacher, counsellor, adviser or policy-maker comes into contact with
students who are failing or who have failed University. Our focus is on
the experience of what failure can mean for both students and
practitioners, and we set this in a wider political and institutional
context. As well as a range of speakers there will be time to discuss
and to question.
Speakers:
Elsa Bell Head of Counselling, University of Oxford
Dave Boyle Academic Adviser, Lancaster's Student Union
David Cannon Research Fellow, London Business School
Roderick Floud Vice-Chancellor, London Guildhall University
Moira Peelo Study Consultant, Lancaster University
Lesley Wareing Head of Student Registry, Lancaster University
Mantz Yorke Professor of Higher Education, Liberpool John Moores
University
The programme will start at 11 a.m. on Thursday 15th July and close at 1
p.m. on Friday 16th July.
Fees:
Non-resident £85
Resident £115 (includes 1 night en-suite campus
