Abstract

Welcome to our Special Issue on supporting student success in a tertiary world. The idea emerged from discussions among members of the European First Year Experience (EFYE) Conference Organising Committee following the publication of Carey et al. (2024), which explored how EFYE had evolved from an annual conference series into a cross-role and cross-national development community, and considered its emerging potential as a wider movement for change, and therefore how a Special Issue could support a resource for this growing community.
