Both during the cross-faculty / trans-faculty “Come-In Weeks” and during the orientation days within the individual faculties at Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences, the student academic advisors for the project
“Diversity as a Strength”
The students’ volunteer involvement in organizing these events stood out particularly positively compared to previous years. At each location, more than 40 students were actively involved in ensuring our new students had an exciting start to their academic careers. The events were planned and implemented in cooperation with STURA, Faculty Student Committees, and other dedicated students. The activities were coordinated and co-organized by, among others, the STEM team of the “Diversity as a Strength” project, as well as numerous professors and staff members in the faculties. The work and dedication of the student volunteers from various committees and projects were once again highly commendable this year. The students’ successful networking efforts can be attributed, in part, to closer ties between the student advisory teams and the Faculty Student Committees within the faculties. The 46 student advisory service staff have now taken on their role of advising, guiding, and supporting students and are available immediately to address any concerns first-semester students may have. Students can contact them via email (sbs(at)hszg.de), on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/Studierende.beraten.Studierende), or in person.
As part of the Student Advisory Service program “Students Advise Students, ”additional activities will follow to connect new students with their mentors. In addition to movie and game nights, a “Long Night of Short Academic Papers” is also planned. The Student Advisory Service teams would like to take this opportunity to wish all new students at our University a successful and worry-free first semester in Zittau and Görlitz.
