How can students stay healthy and sane during the pandemic?
about the event
Since the beginning of this pandemic we’ve been listening to the voices of world leaders, politicians and journalists speaking to other world leaders, politicians and journalists. In turn these voices reach us, the general public.
Here at mindhamok we want to see this change. Alongside the universities themselves we work every day to support students around the world, and we believe it’s time to start a real dialogue in which the student voice can properly be heard. The mindhamok virtual symposium marks the beginning of this.
Why Attend?
We’ve put together a panel of professionals who all come from different perspectives and are passionate about their work with students. They’re keen to listen and talk with you about your concerns and insights as well as answer your questions as you study during this pandemic.
You’ll gain some great tips on getting through this, you’ll meet other students from around the world and help us gain a greater understanding of how to support you better.
Register now to join our expert panel members as we all share our perspectives on “the academic year that wasn’t supposed to happen”.
