This year's central theme is:
"Rethinking the First Year Experiences"
As this supportive conference enters its sixth year, we focus on the multiplicity of the First Year Experience. We desire to understand the richness and excitement our students experience and how, as practitioners, researchers and policy makers, we can support our students in taking their steps into and through higher education.
The EFYE Committee invites you to join the 6th First Year Experience Conference from 19-20 June 2011 in Manchester, UK to bring in good practices, research findings and refreshing ideas from all over Europe and beyond. By sharing our experiences of guiding first year students successfully throughout their first year of higher education, we will have the opportunity to improve the quality of European higher education.
We are excited that, for the first time, the International First Year Experience Conference will also be co-located at The University of Manchester and consequently delegates will be able to further enhance their appreciation of the student experiences by attending and contributing to this conference.
