°×С½ãÂÛ̳ ChangeMakers 2015: a cause for celebration
5 June 2015
°×С½ãÂÛ̳ ChangeMakers was recently launched to support staff-student partnerships that work to improve the student learning experience.
The scheme is also linked with Digifest and the Engineering Teaching
and Learning Support Studentships. The success of the initiative was celebrated recently by students and staff, in a two-hour event that showcased their work.
Derfel Owen, the Director of Academic Services, formally presented certificates, signed by the Provost, to the students and staff who had undertaken projects. He said that a scheme like this benefited both the university and helped to develop students that were highly employable.Ìý
Empowering
Similarly, the students highlighted how empowering they found the scheme. They said that their student experience had improved, not only because of the changes their project had created but also through the experience of undertaking a °×С½ãÂÛ̳ ChangeMaker project.
Next year, students and staff will both be able to initiate
projects. There is also a real appetite to further develop the scheme in other
ways.
