Why Student Voice?

When incorporated into the design, implementation, and delivery of initiatives in Higher Education, the student voice can lead to more powerful solutions that address learning excellence, teaching effectiveness, and student experience.

Join us at the Student Voices in Higher Education conference - a 2-day event designed to provide a forum for Higher Education leaders to share stories, experiences, best practices, and lessons learned from student voice initiatives.
