I recently attended the 4th annual Gearing Up conference in March. The conference focussed on Student Transitions tying in with the current QAA Enhancement Themes. For me as a member of staff who supports taught postgraduate students via study skills workshops, the conference was an opportunity to meet academics, support staff and students. It made me look at support mechanisms and opportunities that are in place and think about what points in the transitions periods – into, during and out

Hello, everyone! One thing I have learned to do well this year is staying organized with my assignments, being aware of when big papers and tests are coming up (which is a big, recent development) and taking better care to write down when I have meetings, work, and rehearsals to make sure that I don’t miss anything. I have figured out a pretty good system that works well for me, so I thought I would share it!

The letter came in early March to my mailbox in the mailroom: the letterhead of a college that is different from Hope. It’s red and white (thank goodness, not maroon and gold… sorry to all of you Calvin fans) and it’s 229.5 miles from my cozy apartment east of campus. And what it had inside of it was a yes.

This Saturday I spent most of my day, 8:30a.m.–3:00p.m., at 14th Street Christian Reformed Church. On a whim maybe a month ago I decided to register for this retreat hosted my a group on campus, Klesis. Klesis is the Greek word for calling which is what this group focuses on. It’s peer/faculty mentorship program considering whether grad school is for you, and exploring vocation and calling from a Christian perspective.

Distance learning is an important and increasing area within the University’s teaching and learning portfolio. It allows students to embark upon and engage in their studies in a more flexible way that can integrate with their busy day-to-day lives. The right blend of student, supervisors and research topic is important, but if the blend is right then it can lead to a different, productive and exciting learning experience for all concerned.

I am back to my sweet Michigan home! Four months was a long time to be away, but I’m finally back in my house, my room, and my life. It was missed. The journey on Saturday was long, as my six-hour flight into Toronto, Canada, was followed up by a three-hour drive back to Detroit, Michigan, but it was worth it, as a couple best friends were there to surprise me upon my return.
