Our central goals focus on strengthening the FS Community Spirit, creating more transparency and benefitting each student by promoting different projects as well as hosting fun events. Working very closely with the FS Management, together we try to support student engagement in any way possible, be it through financial or organizational support for certain community events or initiatives. Especially in times of the current pandemic, a frequent exchange on important topics like corona measures taken on campus or feedback on the online teaching model, for instance, is fundamental.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Further improvements and projects<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>What we value the most is our FS Community Spirit, which is why we consider it to be very important to connect students across all different programs and backgrounds \u2013 not only through events but by enabling exchange, engagement and collaboration. In order to make the FS Management more accessible to the students, we plan to create short videos with FS staff introducing important and current topics and\/or projects for students as well as FS. At the same time, we want to contribute to make student life at FS the most memorable time for each student by thinking of creative and fun events as well as projects. For this reason, we are constantly looking for new opportunities to improve each student\u2019s experience on campus, like supporting the setup of new water fountains and improved study place opportunities.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Get to know our departments<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Our team consists of 9 members from various academic programs and backgrounds:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Introducing our departments, let\u2019s begin with the heart of our council: The <em>Speakers<\/em>. This year, Denise Reffelmann and Madhur Chadha took over the roles of the Speaker and the Co-Speaker. The Speaker and Co-Speaker are in charge of guiding and representing the StuCo. Their responsibilities range from managing all ongoing projects within the StuCo, representing the student body in different committees, organizing and leading the General Student Assemblies, as well as preparing and conducting meetings with FS management.<\/p>\n<p>Our FS community spirit lives from the people that are part of it. Due to the high level of engagement and the very diverse field of students\u2019 interests, the number of initiatives is constantly increasing. In order to support and coordinate all initiatives, Laura Selbach and Lucas Peikert took over the <em>Initiatives department<\/em>. Their tasks range from assisting students in the founding of new initiatives as well as staying connected with current initiatives heads.<\/p>\n<p>Our <em>Projects &amp; Events department<\/em>, headed by Julia Thom\u00e4 and Alicia Fuchs Mateo, can also look forward to an intense and exciting workload. Through creative approaches and innovative thinking, our FS community can enjoy fun events and look forward to new projects that will enhance the overall student life at Frankfurt School even during Covid-19.<\/p>\n<p>When focusing on our goal of enhancing transparency and communications, our <em>Communications department<\/em> is key. This year, Giulia Kipp joined us in her second semester of her Bachelor studies. Her tasks include making all actions of the StuCo as well as the events on campus visible to the student body, primarily via social media.<\/p>\n<p>Ensuring a responsible allocation of our Student Council\u2019s budget and managing our finances in order to benefit as many students as possible is the key responsibility of our <em>Treasury department<\/em>, which is run by Sah Ali Ayric and Stephen Oliva.<\/p>\n<p>We are honored to represent our fellow students and want to leave a footprint just like our predecessors!
