Dear Valerie Join over 340 of your colleagues and friends at HERDSA 2021 Last year was challenging for us all on many levels, but it’s obvious by our ever-growing registration numbers that we can’t wait to meet again! Join us in Brisbane for this year’s conference. Have your voice heard  We want to hear student’s stories, ideas and opinions about higher education and their experiences in a short video. A selection of the video statements will be played during the HERDSA 2021 conference. Students from any country, discipline and academic level are invited to submit a video. The best video will receive a $250 book voucher kindly donated by Thomson Reuters. Please encourage your students to contribute.
