The meetings will take place via Zoom, from 10.00am to 1.00pm. The agendas will be circulated closer to the dates and they will reflect current developments in student engagement. The network is open for staff in universities and colleges with student engagement and academic representation development roles. You can keep in touch with the whole network by signing up to SESN JISCMail (https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/sparqsSESN).
SESN is a great way to keep in touch with colleagues working in similar roles in other Scottish institutions and students’ associations, and also to discuss latest updates from the sector, so make sure to sign up and note it in your calendar! We are also keen to learn more about what practices you implement in your role and institution, so if you would like to share examples of student engagement activities, best practice, or suggest other topics for SESN meetings, please let us know by emailing Gloria at gloria.laurini@sparqs.ac.uk.
As in previous years, we are planning on running the last SESN in person, in May 2025, as a joint event with the National Education Officers’ Network (NEON) and Joint Advisory Group (JAG), so keep an eye on the sparqs’ news articles for further information.
For any further information, please get in touch with Gloria Laurini, Development Consultant - gloria.laurini@sparqs.ac.uk.
