As Student Council our task is to represent student interests, and this would not be so easy if it were not for the fact that student representatives sit on the collegiate bodies of the University. The Student Government committees support the President and the Board of Directors of the University Student Government Council and focus on taking action in organizing cultural events, handling scholarship matters or fulfilling the promotional needs of the Student Government. This is a good place to start your adventure in Student Government, as you can apply at any time - even during the vacations!
