We’ve been talking quite a bit about community and belonging here at Wonkhe towers over the past few years.
From our Only the Lonely research with Cibyl back in 2019, to work during the pandemic in 2020 through to the Four Foundations of Belonging that we worked on with Pearson last year, our subscriber students’ unions have been helping us to research the way in feelings of connectedness and community relate to student mental health, confidence and student success.
But I wasn’t prepared for this.
Over the past few months, we’ve been working with our partners at Cibyl and group of “pioneer” SUs on a new kind of monthly student survey that we’re launching formally at this year’s Secret Life of Students – designed to help SUs and their universities not just know students’ opinions, but to understand and learn from their lives too.
