参考了联合国可持续发展目标，信仰论坛和他们的议员计划，会上所作的介绍涵盖了用学生生命周期方法支持自闭症谱系障碍学习者、英国联合大学在学生入会方面的工作以及全国学生联合会在酒精影响方面的工作。后者强调，虽然年轻人很少喝酒，但他们在大学前的期望是，这是大学文化的一部分。开云体育主頁(欢迎您)分享的其他调查结果包括英国学术自由调查的信息，很大一部分学生始终支持学术自由。对我来说，以下是两个关键的实践经验。

播客/博客对学生参与的影响
一个会议集中讨论了学生支持的发展变化，并反映了5分钟播客和博客作为学生交流的有效手段的参与度的增加。对于许多大学来说，这是一个具有挑战性的领域，所以我一定会探索如何扩展这种方法的使用。它还提出了一个问题，即学生手册是否概述了它的目的。 Will the student handbook in its current format survive or will it be replaced by shorter bite size alternative information sources? I will leave this up to you to decide.

Making it explicit that students can contact staff by telephone or skype and not just by email or face-to-face
Another takeaway was hearing about an unintended benefit of changing the support provided for sandwich students: pre, during and post and one change in particular, which really benefited students living off campus. This as to provide a steer to their sandwich students and encouraged them to feel able to telephone/skype their academic advisers / module convenors as well as request face to face meetings. This steer was given from stage 1 in preparation for their time away from campus. The aim was to help students feel more able to contact staff in this way – students had previously perceived this as a barrier.

We were advised that taking this approach helped students feel more connected to the campus before, during and after their sandwich placement. It also enabled early detection of issues as more students contacted staff from their work placement than previously. It struck me that this approach generally regarding academic advising would have wider benefits for students who live off campus.

The conference also served to reinforce the following important messages:
• that we need to empower students to change things. The power of co-creation in empowering students to lead changes in partnership with universities. Paying attention to the students and their lived experience/s is how we will resolve barriers to engagement and make improvements
• the need to create spaces that drive conversations with students about important matters
• the utmost importance of fostering cross-working and a whole-institution approaches to enhancing students’ experiences
• that evaluating education and student experience interventions needs to be embedded into our customs and practice
• the power of creating, developing and using institutional frameworks to drive change in a systematic and holistic way as well as the impact of taking student lifecycle approach
