Student Government and participation
Throughout the UU, students and staff contribute their thoughts on educational matters to the decision-making bodies. Would you like to join them? Then become a member of one of our employee participation bodies. You will gain experience in thinking about changes and improvements in a large organization. Later in your career it can be very beneficial if you can include board or committee experience in your resume.

The faculty council discusses the faculty policies in the areas of education, research, finance, personnel & organization with the faculty board. - The Board of Education Directors
