TAG is hosting a Retention Show and Tell, funded by JISC, to showcase some of the work going on around retention and in particular students transition in to higher Education.
The Event will take place on Wednesday Dec 9, 2009 at UCLan in Preston 09.30 – 17.00

The morning session of the assembly will consist of introductions to the projects, details about how the projects were developed and why, the challenges they faced and what they have learnt. Each session will allow plenty of time for discussion and debate.
The afternoon session is to enable delegates to explore retention issues in their own courses/ institutions and start to think of how they can adapt the projects, or elements of the projects, they have learnt about in the morning to address these issues. The afternoon session will be managed by Lawrie Phipps, the JISC institutional Innovation Programme Manager.
The event is free to all employees in the HE sector – both academic staff and support staff and in particular to those with a keen interest in retention and student transition.
Lunch and refreshments are included.
Please do not hesitate to contact the TAG Team if you have any questions.
Please note spaces are limited and if you book a space and cannot attend please ensure another colleague takes your place of you give plenty of notification to the TAG Team so they may re-allocate your slot.
