Audio from a podcast interview that I did with the Efficiency Exchange back in April at Jisc ‘s DigiFest event. I had a cold, hence the reason why my voice is a bit off. Hope you enjoy this quick clip.
Student Experience Students commonly give feedback that they would like ‘real-life’ opportunities to use their degree during study. Placements allow this but are quite challenging to resource. Volunteering opportunities can be hugely valuable and offer similar experience, especially when related to the degree discipline. Our students feel under pressure to get involved in volunteering.
Pine Ridge, South Dakota One of the unique academic experiences that Hope College offers students is to study over the summer months through May, June and July terms. For many Hope students, this is a chance to travel or spend some more time in lovely Holland and build a deeper community with the members of one class. In May 2016, myself, a group of Hope women and an extraordinary Religion professor packed into a twelve-passenger van and drove off into the Badlands of South Dakota.

Being a professor is quite the challenge and it’s regarded as an art of its own. We spend years in university and then more time to prepare to face students.
iStock [fanjianhua] Encouraging reflection on learning is becoming increasingly central to the experience of all students within the University. Nursing is recognised as having facilitated this approach to learning within the curriculum for a number of years. There are a variety of approaches and opportunities for reflection within the curriculum, yet students do find it challenging to move from describing accounts of their experiences; to be more critically reflective of the experience and the
Presenter: Dan Antonson. Senior Manager of Marketing Technology. Collegis Education. Easy ways to make sense of admissions data. Admissions teams tell us that they want to use data, but find it hard to manage. And let’s face it: all too often data lacks meaning. We’ll help you connect the dots between the data you have and the data you want. Consider this a continuation of our July 2017 webinar that covered how to improve the value of data captured by admissions.
Power and abuse in academe continue to be an issue. The charges of sexual harassment by mega-producer Harvey Weinstein have consumed the attention of the media over the past year. The tales have led to an outpouring of Me too by Facebook and Twitter users who have experienced unwanted advances and worse in their own lives. Sadly, the cases of abuse of power and sexual harassment / abuse are not limited to casting couches and individual women across the world; they include multiple earlier accusa

THE BEACHES Whether it’s Big Ol’ Red (aka Holland State Park), Tunnel Beach, Laketown Dunes, The Bowl, or some random beach front you found on a drive, everyone has their favorite beach and it’s a must no matter what time of year. Even in the depths of winter, my friends and I will bundle up in coats and blankets, trek out to some Lake Michigan beachfront, and watch the stars for probably longer than we should.
iStock [nambitomo] This week’s lighthearted news: someone’s paid $1.56m for a scribbled note from 1922, which reads (translating from the German) “a calm and modest life is happier than a life of successful but constantly agitated striving.” It was from Albert Einstein, who had just won the Nobel prize.

iStock [a-poselenov] The theme of student mental health has been covered recently in the national press which has been positive in that this has focused attention on the need for us to work together to enable students to flourish at university. Mental health at universities needs to be everybody’s business and, as outlined within a recent Universities UK report , given its multiple determinants and consequences, this requires a “whole-university approach”- we are looking at how we can achieve th

To achieve something great. To do something great. To be something great. We’re told that this Hope will never fail us. But somewhere along the lines this Hope that we hold can grow foggy.
