In semester 1, a significant number of our students chose to suspend their studies due to travel restrictions and uncertainty around online learning resulting from COVID-19. In the Business School, approximately 2,400 students suspended their studies (up from some 400 in 2019), which included approximately 2250 international students. To build a community with these students and to maintain their connection with the Business School, we implemented a ‘Students on Pause’ project. In this presentation, we will discuss what we had hoped to achieve with this project, the activities we undertook and the ways in which we engaged with our ‘Students on Pause’, and we have learned from this experience.
