EVALUATION OF THE EFYE2015 CONFERENCE


Ghent hosted the EFYE 2016  - 4 - 6 April

There was two main themes:

Institutional development

* Who are FYE stakeholders and with what/how should they be engaged?

* How do we embed a culture of FYE for all stakeholders?

* Is it possible for FYE to be a standalone activity?

* In what ways can/should FYE move from organic development to strategic ownership?

* What 'language'/terminology should be used to promote FYE: retention or success?

 

The student lifecycle 

* How do we prepare students for their new lives at university?

* How do we best deliver new students' inductions?

* How do we help students to make the transition through the year?

* How do we prepare students for subsequent studies?
