Event Description
Calling all undergraduate student reps in Archaeology, Classics, Dance, Drama, Music and Materials Science in the North of England and Scotland...you are invited to:
Engage! A Student Representative Awayday
Engage! is a free, 24-hour awayday for undergraduate student representatives from universities and colleges in the North of England (the NE, NW, Yorkshire, etc.) and Scotland. Taking place in a hotel conference centre and spa set amongst the hills of Lancashire, Engage! is an opportunity to share your ideas about and experiences of higher education within and across different subject areas.
The need to involve and engage fully with students is a major concern in higher education, and the aim of Engage! is to enable student reps in the subject areas of archaeology and classics, the performing arts, and materials science to contribute to the development of policy and practice in relation to student engagement in higher education.
Engage! is organised by three of the Higher Education Academy’s northern-based Subject Centres: Archaeology & Classics, PALATINE (dance, drama and music) and UKCME (materials) and is supported by the National Union of Students.
Directions
How to find Lancaster House Hotel
Lancaster House is a 4- star hotel, spa and conference centre adjacent to Lancaster University on the A6 near junction 33 on the M6.
Leave the M6 motorway at Junction 33. Travel north on the A6 towards Lancaster City Centre. Go straight through the traffic lights in the small village called Galgate. Once through Galgate you will come to another set of traffic lights, go straight on and you will see Lancaster House Hotel, set back on the hill to the right. Turn right at the next turning (before the next set of traffic lights). The entrance to the hotel is on the right hand side on the brow of the hill. Car parking is available for over 120.
By rail and bus
Lancaster is the nearest railway station. The X1 bus service runs between the railway station and the University every 20 minutes Mon - Sat daytimes. Other regular bus services also leave the city centre at Common Garden Street for the 20 minute journey to the University. Taxis are available from outside the station.
