The Care Factor: Foundations and practice of supporting student success and wellbeing

Presenters - Nalini Pather, Leesa Sidhu, Jacky Cranney, Gary Velan

International research has identified the need for a radical shift in the way we teach and support students’ success and wellbeing in higher education settings. As educators, we are faced with the challenge to provide engaging and supportive learning environments that deliver positive, meaningful short-term and long-term outcomes for students. To facilitate these outcomes, the University needs to implement appropriate policies, procedures and supporting frameworks.

Featuring presenters from the Scientia Education Academy (SEA) and Co-Leads of UNSW’s Healthy University Initiative (HUI), our thought-leaders will discuss the rationale for a collaborative, coordinated and multifaceted approach that empowers our students to thrive.
