SEN would like to share our condolences on the pas SEN would like to share our condolences on the passing of Michael Torney, a Student Experience giant for whom one of our most prestigious awards is named. Below is the wonderful piece posted by Lowan at MSA, which says beautifully what we are all feeling. 

"In Memory of Michael โ€“ A Student Experience Industry Legend

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Michael, a true legend in the student experience industry. For what felt like decades, Michael led with vision, wisdom, and unwavering dedication, shaping initiatives that kept university student services both contemporary and innovative.

His courageous leadership during the Voluntary Student Unionism (VSU) challenges from 2004 to 2006 was particularly remarkable, offering guidance that many leaned on during uncertain times.

Farewell, old friend. Your legacy lives on, and you are already deeply missed.

Our sincere condolences go out to Michaelโ€™s family."

We love seeing our members lead important conversations that shape safer, more connected student communities, and Western Sydney University - Student Life โ€™s Project Unlearn Disrespect is a powerful example of this.

Sparked by research revealing growing pessimism among young women about forming meaningful relationships, the initiative invites students to reflect on their own experiences through an interactive dialogue wall.

This creative approach has opened space for honest conversations, sharing of stories, and a collective push for change - showing just how much students value respect and meaningful connection.

We celebrate WSUโ€™s commitment to fostering dialogue, understanding, and cultural change on campus and beyond!

Weโ€™re so excited to have some of the UNE Life team presenting at SENCON 2025 in November! 

Digital Heartbeats: Reimagining Connection in Digital Student Spaces with @unelife2351 

As universities continue to embrace digital delivery, Student Experience professionals face the challenge of fostering genuine connection and belonging among students who may never set foot on campus.  This presentation takes you on UNE Life's journey to reimagine digital student engagement by abandoning outdated approaches and embracing authentic connection models that resonate with today's digital natives.

The team will share their story of shifting from traditional social media groups to creating digital communities that students genuinely want to be part ofโ€”spaces where they feel seen, valued, and connected. Through stories of real student experiences and creative initiatives, we'll illustrate how meeting students "where they're at" has sparked a revolution in how we think about digital belonging.

Attendees will leave inspired with fresh perspectives and innovative ideas for creating digital experiences that don't just reach studentsโ€”but truly inspire them to become active participants in their university community, regardless of physical distance.

ONLINE WEBINAR: Student Perspectives on AI in High ONLINE WEBINAR: Student Perspectives on AI in Higher Education

While much of the debate about AI in higher education continues to focus on institutional policies and concerns for academic integrity, less attention has been paid to the stories of students themselves. What motivates students to use or avoid GenAI? How do they weigh risks and benefits? What tensions do they grapple with as they integrate these technologies into their studies?

Facilitated by CRADLE's Dr Jack Walton, this panel will feature researchers from the "AI in Higher Education" project: a large multi-institutional collaboration established in 2024 with the aim of foregrounding the student voice on AI. Reflecting on the work of the project to date, the panel will discuss what has been learned so far about students' perspectives and practices for studying in a world where AI has become commonplace. The panel will discuss key findings emerging from the project to consider implications for higher education learning and teaching, and directions that research and practice need to take next.
