LINKS Report
January 2022 LINK published a report on students’ psychosocial learning environment and their experience of UiO’s offers of academic support (in the context of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic).
The report finds that students are mostly satisfied with what UiO offers academically, but that many feel lonely, isolated and left to their own devices when it comes to social arenas and support. These findings can be supported by other surveys, such as SHoT. The report also indicates that students desire more contact and understanding between students and staff.
Status
Separately from the report, some among UiOs staff express a desire to see their efforts meet students’ needs. They also wonder why some efforts seem to go unnoticed or are not made use of by the students.
In order to find solutions and belongingness we believe students and staff should have more meeting arenas. At this event, we wish to provide such a meeting space so we can discuss possible solutions with a panel debate open to public participation.
