Bridging the gap between study life and future careers.

• Academic Tools: Standardized mock exams, efficient and transparent communication channels, and an updated UvA App featuring AI integration and clear course overviews.
• Learning Environment: Better allocation of teaching quality, promotion of student innovation over uniformity, and more silent study spaces.
• Career Building: Improve employment outcomes and integrate networking opportunities directly into the core curriculum.

Making student life about more than just lectures.

• Community Building: Faculty vs. faculty competitions, matches against the VU, and official UvA merch.
• Social Events: Regular watch parties, a vibrant Culture Day, and international cuisine nights in collaboration with cultural associations.
• Connection: Create dedicated WhatsApp communities to help students connect over shared interests.
• Sports: Better access and promotion of sports activities across all campuses.

Your well-being and living situation come first.

• Mental Health Support: Workshops on managing exam stress, access to stress support groups, and promoting physical exercise (including gym discounts).
• Accessible Care: Push for transparent information on psychological services, hire more professionals through external collaboration, and establish tutorial teachers as the first point of contact.
• Life Skills: Introduce “life skills workshops” covering finances, taxes, and daily essentials.
• Housing Advocacy: Collaborate with external parties to assist with housing alternatives, urge the UvA to reserve more rooms for first-year students, and establish a student-supervised housing helpline.

A campus where everyone feels they belong.

• Awareness & Accessibility: Mandatory diversity awareness training and fully accessible infrastructure for disabled students and those with dyslexia.
• Safe Spaces: Ensure the campus remains a safe place for public discourse with clear measures to manage protests.
• Support Systems: Establish a dedicated hotline for discrimination incidents or unsafe feelings, offering faster help than traditional study advisors.

Preparing for the future, ethically and sustainably.

• Clear AI Policies: Establish clear rules for AI use in assignments (treating it as a legitimate source) and integrate helpful AI tools into UvA services like the MyUvA app.
• Sustainability: Push for stronger sustainability initiatives across all university operations.
