Thursday 25 February

Starting university is a daunting and life defining moment. The University of Sydney is a very large institution with a wide range of disciplines on offer and a very diverse student population. This size and diversity offer huge opportunities and challenges for new students. Unfortunately, many feel that they do not fit or belong during the crucial first few weeks. Transition - the first few weeks at university - is hugely important in determining whether a student’s time here will be successful and enjoyable. Students joining us in 2021 have experienced a unique year in preparation. Some will be able to participate in face-to-face activities. Others will begin their university journey remotely. A successful transition for all students is particularly important and challenging this year.

This workshop is aimed at those teaching and tutoring first year units of study that are using transition activities as part of the transition unit pilot. It will introduce the transition activities and cover how to run and facilitate classes that use them. Before attending, enrol in the Transition Resources site.

• Further information and background reading on transition is available in Teaching@Sydney. This is an online session, held via Zoom.
