The event, hosted by IATL, will cover the life cycle of Widening Participation from outreach, through retention, to progression, with a particular focus on retention and more specifically on what we do at Warwick to ensure that our practices are open to and beneficial to all students from all backgrounds.

The event will begin with lunch and will be introduced by Christina Hughes, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Education (Innovation, Employability and Widening Participation).

The article notes that the module Forms of Identity, convened by IATL's Nick Monk, is taught via video conferencing to students at both Warwick and Monash.

After careful consideration from IATL's Jonny Heron, who sponsored the scholarship, it was awarded to Aaiz Khan, a 17 year old student from Pakistan. Aaiz combined two of his passions, biology and music, and devised a way of teaching and learning genetics through basic guitar string theory. Aaiz's project was playfully titled 'Genes on a String'.
