Want to experience what it's like to be a board member at the Student Union? Then come to our inhouse day on Tuesday, April 3rd! During this day you will be introduced to all facets of the board year and learn more about the kinds of challenges you will face.
Date: 3rd of April
Time: 09:00-18:00 (16:30 start of the drink)
Locatie: The Bastille, Student Union office
The Executive Board of University of Twente has mandated the Student Union to write the policy for sports and culture, extracurricular personal development and (the introduction to) the living environment of students. This means that the Student Union gets to decide what happens in these areas for students. The SU is highly involved with and decides on the changes at our university, how (extracurricular) personal development can positioned in it and how all this affects daily student life. What would this university look like in 20 years? And how can we, students, contribute to that? Thus, the SU's mission statement reads, “Everything we do is done for our fellow students - to empower them to achieve more than a degree.
In addition, the Student Union, from its umbrella role, represents the interests of about 12,000 students and is a point of contact for umbrella organisations, associations, foundations and external parties. In short, the SU plays an active role in everything that concerns students.
During a board year at the SU, you take your personal development and that of others to the next level. Main things past board members have learned are: thinking in solutions, lobbying with different parties, taking a positive approach, formulating clearly, setting goals and managing. The various portfolios within the Student Union Board offer a range of areas of expertise, each with its own challenges. Every day you will work from the SU office in the Bastille. The SU board members talk to each other a lot during meetings, projects, or informally sparring about the challenges within their portfolios.
This is just the tip of the iceberg and each board member would love to tell you more about it!
