RAISE Buddy Scheme 2024-25
The RAISE Buddy Scheme aims to facilitate communication and collaboration across our members, as well as offering relevant opportunities for continued professional development and networking.
The scheme runs each academic year and applications for the 2024-25 year will open from 11 September 2024, Day 1 of the annual RAISE Conference.
Applications will close on 14 October 2024. We aim to inform you of who your buddies are by the end of October, with further information on how to connect at that time.
Throughout the scheme, you will have the opportunity to meet your buddy and other participants in the scheme at RAISE events. We will also provide opportunities for you to give feedback about the success of your buddying match(es) and the impact of the scheme on your professional development.
Who can apply for the RAISE Buddy Scheme?
We welcome applications from anyone with an interest in student engagement in tertiary education. This includes students, academic staff and members of professional services. We also encourage applications from those based internationally, as well as in the UK.
What are the benefits of the RAISE Buddy Scheme?
The major benefits of joining the RAISE Buddy Scheme are:
-
Having the opportunity to connect with others who have a mutual interest in student engagement, discuss experiences in the field or find out about student engagement more widely
-
Having the opportunity to learn from other contexts (e.g., people in different institutions, countries and careers or student stages)
-
Invitations to events throughout the year on themes related to student engagement topics that Buddies are most interested in
-
Potential opportunity for cross-institutional collaboration on small projects or journal articles
