Student success: Exploring evidence-based academic, emotional, and social supports seminar report UCD

The outputs from the seminar ‘Student Success: Exploring evidence-based academic, emotional & social supports’ contributes to our understanding of student success by focusing on the factors contributing to the wellbeing and mental health of our students. The seminar brought together students, researchers and practitioners to share best practice, share the evidence of what works for students and how a policy framework can drive change and accountability at a national level. In line with the work of the National Forum transitions and the need for quality data were central themes. Key to the success of the seminar was partnering with students. To be authentic in understanding student success students must co-create with stakeholders in higher education institutions the environment for students to flourish.
