Reinvention!

Designing Tomorrow Together: How Must Uni’s Adapt?

The world is changing rapidly and higher education must reinvent itself to remain relevant and meet the needs of future students. We would like your insights and ideas to shape the future of our university!

Run jointly with the University, this event will provoke fresh thinking and ideas to co-design the future University of Central Lancashire. You will hear, debate and challenge leaders of the university and the SU, and participate in fresh-thinking debate sessions.

The sessions will provide opportunities to discuss and contribute to various aspects of university life, including how we can use more digital tools, enhance career opportunities for students and better tailor support for students via the University and Students’ Union.

All participants will receive £10 cash, payable via their UCLan Achieve accounts for attending (www.uclan-achieve.co.uk). Refreshments and lunch will be provided. Attendees will be invited to give feedback at the end of the event and participants who complete the feedback form will be entered into a prize draw for a chance at winning noise cancelling headphones!
