Want to have a say about student welfare? Join the Student Welfare Taskforce! The UGS has written a Student Wellbeing Manifesto, which sets out a number of intentions that the UGS Board of Studies wants to see realized in 2025. A faculty Taskforce will be set up that focus on the implementation of this manifesto. The other Schools within the faculty have also expressed their interest in joining the taskforce. For this reason, we are looking for GSNS, GSLS and Pharmacy students who would like to join the discussion about student wellbeing within our faculty and participate in the Taskforce Student Wellbeing. If you are interested and would like more information about participating, please email Susannah Standing (s.p.standing@uu.nl). |
