From 4 to 8 October, the FYE workstream facilitated a series of webinars. The webinars were reflections on the challenges faced in supporting first year students and proposals for evidence-based solutions for the future were made. Each of the five workstream institutions presented on their experiences in supporting these students and what data shows in terms of what needs to be improved. Recordings of the webinars are available on our Siyaphumelela Youtube Channel with the specific links for each provided below. 

We would also like to encourage you to complete the evaluation survey even if you have not participated in the live webinars but have watched the recordings.
