The second half repeats the first. For #SocMedHE16 we aim to have <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">two<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Thunderstorm sessions. One dedicated to the student view, and one open for any submissions. This information applies only to the former.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For the Student View Thunderstorm session, there will be 8 free student places. Our reason for this dedicated section is our desire to ensure representation of undergraduate or postgraduate students who may not be formally writing up, but do have valuable experience, or viewpoints to share. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The 5 minute Thunderstorm slot is ideal for students who would like the active experience of conference submission and presentation in a supported way, and to experience a Higher Education conference as an active delegate.
