Huge shout-out to Richard for delivering an honest and insightful case study on how The University of Manchester reconfigured their student services provision to truly centre around students, rather than the other way around. Inspiring work that shows the power of putting students first! #HigherEd #StudentExperience #AHEPFellowship Times Higher Education Events

When we asked members and followers to suggest locations for 2025's conference, Scotland was a clear favourite, and we can see why. Aside from being the home of some of the oldest institutions in the country and a leader in unique HE practices; it happens to be home to one of the friendliest places in the UK! This is why we selected it as basecamp for conference 2025. Did you know? Glasgow became the UK’s first “World City of Friendship” in 2006. This ranked it ahead of cities like London, Madrid, Barcelona, Paris and Mumbai and it regularly ranks as one of the friendliest cities in the UK, topping the CN Traveller readers’ poll once again in 2024: https://ow.ly/If7h50U6LQW Kick start your 2025 summer with us and explore what Glasgow has to offer! https://ow.ly/K37g50U6LQX #AHEP2025 #HigherEd #ProfessionalDevelopment

Lively discussion in session 1D – ‘Creating our future leaders’, where they’re talking about how IHE members are shaping the leaders of tomorrow with innovative, practical teams dedicated to their students and industries. Chaired by Marion Lowe, IHE Board Member, featured speakers are Colin Ferguson (Association of Higher Education Professionals), Jules Brookes and @Christie Jay Beauchamp (pointblank Music School); and Professor @Will Foster (Advance HE). They’re talking about how to build high-performing leadership teams by leveraging existing talent, embedding EDI principles, and fostering ongoing learning and development to align leadership with organisational values – especially important for IHE members, many of whom are at a foundational stage, developing people, culture, and research strategies as they move towards degree awarding powers—perfectly positioned to embed leadership approaches that reflect their ethos. #IHE2024 #HigherEducation #LeadershipDevelopment #EDI
