Editorial 2013 - JSEEM 3(1)

Welcome to the latest edition of the Journal of Student Engagement: Education matters. Readership of the undergraduate articles continues to grow apace through wide accessibility – one student has had over 4,000 downloads in the last twelve months. Graduating students have even had their articles raised as an interview topic when applying for teaching positions. For a significant number of students, having a paper published in JSEEM is now part of their career planning. We encourage students to view their papers as professional development and this is borne out through the positive attitudes they bring to the process. Mentoring becomes a pleasure when dealing with thinking that is both vigorous and open.
