Activities

The department provides information about the student associations on the campus in the context of Unitiative, in the association guidepost as well as during the “Erstiwoche” and on the “Vereinachtsmarkt” (Christmas market with all student associations). Public events and meetings can be found easily in the entertainments guide and date-coordinator. In addition, our department promotes the exchange of information between the associations and the student council, especially through the bimonthly association meetings to which the representatives of the student council and the associations are invited. The topics that are discussed in the course of the meeting especially concern the voluntary working members of the associations. Topics are for example the long-term tuition fees, planning presentations for the associations, the flyer ruling in the canteen or  information on the “Erstiwoche”. The invitations for the meetings and additional information are sent by an E-Mail via mailing list. Student associations can apply for being on the mailing list and are admitted by an admin. To discharge their tasks there are not only information exchange and advice but also special training. These concern topics such as bookkeeping in non-profit associations, insurance for voluntary work or the application for subsidies. As a small tribute for the afforded voluntary commitment, since 2010 a voluntary award is consigned at the graduate ceremony. This once again underlines the special significance of voluntary work at our university.

The department works hard to live up to these tasks and is always looking for new ideas and impulses. If you think you are the right person for doing that job, write a short E-Mail or visit us in the office of the Students Council. You will always be offered a sympathetic ear.
