Very lucky to be immersed in such expertise… and to occasionally provide some wisdom myself 😅

As part of the whole being a student again I decided to go to a few sports ‘give it a go’ sessions… swiftly realised that I’m not as fit anymore as running 10Ks in lockdown me 😅

[Jack Medlin @jackmedlin]

Nothing screams Students’ Union during Welcome more than sitting in a meeting and having DnB blasted outside your office from an armoured SUV… definitely changed up the vibe

[Jack Medlin @jackmedlin]

First day back for the next four years as an MRes and then PhD student…!

Feels very weird seeing all the buzz of Welcome Week without the exhaustion from being a Sabb during it 😅

[Jack Medlin @jackmedlin]

[Jack Medlin @jackmedlin]

Brilliant piece of work. Have found it really useful when trying to frame the sometimes daunting concept of 'quality' when designing training for student representatives over the last few days! Definitely something I'd have benefitted from when I started as a sabb.

[QAA @QAAtweets]

Our definition of quality resource is designed to help policymakers understand what we mean by ‘quality’ in higher education.

It includes a breakdown of indicators that reflect high quality, with examples of how they play out in educational settings 👇

Progression 👏🏻 metrics 👏🏻 don’t 👏🏻 show 👏🏻 the 👏🏻 whole 👏🏻 picture.

[Tony Moss @tonymossuk]

Reflecting on the announcement that the government wants to cap student numbers on ‘low quality’ degrees, my recent report for @HEPI_news reveals an awkward truth: it’s not the universities they think are low quality, it’s the students. Let me explain why. https://t.co/Hm3YnSdc0R

[Jack Medlin @jackmedlin]

One week later and I’m back on campus! Excited to be at @AdvanceHE #TLConf23 today where I will be presenting as part of a panel on the responsible and ethical use of AI, providing the vital perspective of a student 🤖 Do say hi if you’re around!

[Jack Medlin @jackmedlin]

I’m so thankful for the past two years, and I’m thankful for everyone across the sector who has supported me, trusted me to deliver, asked me to speak my thoughts, or who has simply given me advice and guidance on a daily basis. I’d do it all again in a heartbeat. 13/x

[Jack Medlin @jackmedlin]

Today is my last day as Education Officer @KeeleSU. It has been an absolute privilege to represent students across the past two years and to get to work with the most amazing people. 1/x

[Jack Medlin @jackmedlin]

The sector is better because of us, and the change we can make is inspiring. I’m so fortunate to have done so much and to have cultivated relationships with outstanding colleagues within the university. Change should be made together - and at Keele we’ve done that. 12/x
