Welcome to the University Council

Dear members of the UM community,

After a long summer, the University Council has kicked off the new year. We started with our traditional council day, during which we introduced the new student members of the University and Faculty Councils, as well as the new members of the Service Councils, to the participatory system and its role in the management of the university. Councils also reflected on their ambitions and priorities for the new year. Groups of members of the Council will focus on sustainability, student wellbeing and the use of AI in education, proactively studying university policy and thinking along.  The Council Day was followed by a dedicated training on university finance, which is important because the councils will start looking at next year’s budget in the next few weeks.

Dear members of the UM community,

The past few months have been busy at the University Council, so I wanted to update the community on some of the things that we have been doing. 

Dear members of the UM Community,

As the year approaches its end, the University Council can look back on a busy period. Our new members are becoming more and more familiar with the work of the Council and are making excellent contributions. Over the past few months, we have focussed on a range of different issues.

Dear members of the UM Community,

The new academic year is in full swing, and so are UM’s representative councils. The newly elected University and Faculty Councils, as well as the Service Councils, are busy considering policy proposals and having discussions with the Executive Board, Deans, and Directors about all the issues that affect our university. 

Dear members of the UM Community,

With the end of the academic year in sight, the University Council is busy wrapping up all the formalities that need to be taken care of before summer, but is also already preparing for the new academic year.
