Why I decided to candidate?
Few days ago,
I have announced my candidacy for the Academic Senate of the Central European
University. My intention is to represent student interests in one of the most
important university bodies. I am student at one-year MA of Political Science
coming from Belgrade, Serbia. I have graduated at the University of Belgrade
where I was a student representative at the Academic Council of the Faculty of
Political Sciences, and I was Erasmus Plus mobility student at the University of
Graz.
Interest and
wellbeing of the CEU community are in the first place for me. That’s why I am
the part of “Masketeers” at CEU – the group of 30 students who are taking care
of COVID-19 Protocol and keeping us all on campus safe. My goal also is to help
everyone to settle in Vienna, therefore you can find interesting texts on my
blog. I believe that for the position in the Senate it is important that
students be represented from all levels of study (Bachelor, Master and PhD) and
having in mind my previous experience and activism, I believe I will be good
representative of Master’s students of CEU. If get elected, my plan is to
establish the policy of open doors on weekly basis under which I will discuss
students’ problems and initiatives. By selecting me you will get representative
who is transparent and accountable. I am also a member of the Current Affairs Club.
CEU and its
students and staff are in front of complex times in terms of global pandemic
and its recent move to Vienna. I want to give my contribution in enabling undisturbed
functioning and the best possible experience for everyone!
