Here at Freelancer Club, we frequently have conversations with universities, and a common theme has emerged—the growing challenge of student engagement.
Whether it’s low attendance at extracurricular activities, a feeling of disconnect from the academic environment, or a general lack of enthusiasm for the university experience, this issue is becoming more prevalent.
While some attribute it to COVID, the cost of living, mental health or a generational shift in priorities, others believe there’s something deeper going on. Today, we’re diving into the student engagement crisis with our guests, Mhairi Threlfall, Enterprise Consultant at UWE Bristol and Libby Anson, Student Employment and Enterprise Manager at the Glasgow School of Art.
We’ll explore the dramatic shift in the student experience over the past decade, why universities need to adapt, and the role of innovative communication strategies, hybrid delivery, and fresh solutions to these modern challenges.
