AMOSSHE is the UK Student Services Organization. They inform and support the leaders of student services, and represent, advocate for, and promote the student experience. 149 UK higher education institutions are members of AMOSSHE.
AMOSSHE promotes the development and sharing of good practice within student services in the HE sector at a national level. They hold several training events throughout the year, an annual conference, provide policy briefings for members, and facilitate regional and special interest discussions. They work closely with influential sector groups and policy makers to promote and represent our member interests.
AMOSSHE has been awarded funding from the HEFCE LGM panel for a project exploring the value and impact of services that support students. The value and impact project runs from April 2010 to July 2011. The project will develop a toolkit for student services departments to improve their information, management practice, and the overall student experience
In 2010, AMOSSHE embarked on a £135,000 national project to develop tools for managers of services that support students to understand the value and impact of those services. This was made possible through generous support from the HEFCE LGM fund, and considerable contributions in kind from colleagues across UK higher education.
The value and impact project (VIP) is nearing the end of its 15 months, and will culminate with the launch of the toolkit in June. The launch events will discuss this new approach to management as key to our professionalism, outline the journey so far and challenges encountered, offer insights from the pilot HEIs and, of course, a detailed overview of the toolkit and first steps in understanding value and impact. Details of the speakers for each event are available at www.amosshe.org.uk/events.
AMOSSHE are delighted to be hosting two free launch events, and welcome not only AMOSSHE members but HE professionals from across the sector. These are being held on 9 June (University of Sheffield) and 13 June (Woburn House, London). Details about the events are available on our website; if you would like to book please register at www.amosshe.org.uk/event.
