Chair Mary Curnock Cook discussed the Student Futures Commission at this year’s Wonkfest: Build Back Higher event, with commissioners Professor Colin Bailey, Principal of Queen Mary University London; Meg Price, President of Worcester Students’ Union; and Nikita Khandwala, Insights Analyst at LinkedIn Learning Solutions.
The UPP Foundation Student Futures Commission is founded on one deceptively simple question: what do students need from their universities to be successful post-Covid? Rebuilding student community, preparing to enter the graduate workforce, adapting to a changed learning environment – getting these right could make a real difference not only to this generation of students, but to future cohorts as well.
