In their book on the undergraduate experience, Felten et. al (2016) emphasise the potential within universities to focus resources and human talents on what matters most. Learning matters in the University, not just for students but for everyone. The challenge is not that we don’t know what to do to bring about a good learning experience, but to “create and sustain excellent undergraduate education”. This session aims to provide students with a platform to share and discuss their learning experiences, whether f2f on-campus, in living-learning settings in residential colleges, or online/blended. The goal is to learn from students’ experiences and discuss how they may contribute to “creating and sustaining excellent undergraduate education” for all.
