Dr Kathryn Woods (Arts Faculty Director of Student Experience) and Dr Damien Homer (Arts Faculty Widening Participation Co-ordinator) have recently been awarded funding by the Warwick International Higher Education Academy (WIHEA) for a project which aims to support student engagement and the student experience before arrival at University right through to academic induction. Working together, the project leads and a team of Student Creative Assistants will develop an online Moodle resource full of myth-busting information about academic life and learning in the Faculty of Arts.
