Editorial

Abstract

As always, the second issue of this journal each year is devoted to providing a snapshot of the International First Year in Higher Education Conference, in this case, the 17th held in Darwin, Australia from 6-9 July, 2014. This issue includes one of the Keynote addresses along with series of five articles and five Practice Reports judged by anonymous reviewers and the editors as the “best in show” of the submitted papers and the Nuts and Bolts activities respectively. The Editorial concludes with some comments on the future of the FYHE Conference as it moves from focusing exclusively on first year to embracing student success across the broader student lifecycle.
