W8 Effective Student Representation
Workshop 8: Effective Student Representation
- Workshop outline
This workshop brings the programme to a conclusion but looks ahead to the Learning & Teaching Conference in June 2023. It creates the space for exploring barriers to and enablers of effective student representation.
