Message from the Editor-in-Chief Dr. Ingrid Harrington (Vol. 13, No. 6, December 2024) |

Another year has passed quickly, and I’d like to take this moment to ask all of us to reflect upon the highlights of our professional and personal year. Too often we progress from deadline to deadline, significant dates and events, and once passed, we fail to remember and again enjoy these highlights that defined parts of our year. In our hometowns and on the broader global scale, some of us may remember events with mixed feelings and regret, whilst others rejoice with national pride. As such, our work as academics to disseminate important research findings and promote our cultural diversity and knowledges, is more important than ever. The IJHE continues to provide an important forum for the development of theory, the addressing of policy questions, and the dissemination of innovative practice in the field of tertiary education, specifically widening participation and lifelong learning. I am proud to be a part of the successful promotion of widening participation in tertiary education and lifelong learning. This edition includes seven interesting articles exploring citation counts and the student experience and learning performances, from Texas USA Singapore, Kuwait, South Africa, Kuwait, Germany, and South Sudan. |
