The ISSoTL special interest group on Student Engagement is now being co-chaired by Andrea Jackson from the University of Leeds, and MRU’s Israel Dunmade.  Interested in getting involved?  Here’s a recent message from them received through the ISSoTL listserv:

Special Interest Group meeting @ ISSOTL 2013

We will be holding a Special Interest Group meeting at the forthcoming ISSOTL conference on Friday 4^th October after the concurrent sessions (room to be confirmed).  It would be great to see many of you there to discuss ways in which we can promote and disseminate the outcomes of scholarly research on the topic of student engagement and how we can best support those who would like to participate in scholarly activity in this area of interest.

ISSOTL Student Awards – judging volunteers

There will be two new student awards at this year’s conference, one for best poster and one for best conference session led by a student.  Further details will be announced shortly on the conference web-site (http://issotl13.com/).  The conference team are looking for volunteers to assist with the judging for these awards.  Please let me know if you would like to help.

Israel and I very much look forward to meeting some of you at the conference soon.  For those who are not able to join us then we will send you a summary of the outcomes of the meeting but if you have any suggestions for ways in which the Interest Group could help you then please let us know.
