Student Council

Welcome!

The SAKS student council introduces itself

 

Who is the SAKS student council? 

You - as a student of Social Anthropology and Cultural Studies (SAKS) at the University of Bern. Together we form a colourful, innovative and imaginative whole.

What does the SAKS student council want?

To stand up for the interests of students and exercise their right to have a say, recognise their needs and facilitate discourse.

The student council is represented by the SAKS student council board.

 

How do we find out your opinion?

There are various ways to do this:

General Assembly

At the end of each semester, the board organises a general assembly of the student council. It serves as a platform for providing information about institute matters, current university policy, course content and student council activities. At the plenary assembly, students have the opportunity to contribute ideas, suggestions and criticism. A lively exchange is important to us. Afterwards, we round off the plenary session with a dinner, which we cook together, or an aperitif.

In the Unitobler

Come by, say hi! Every Wednesday afternoon from 13:00 to 17:00 we are in room S221 on the 2nd floor of the Unitobler, where we warmly welcome everyone from the institute. We offer an open space here to recognise needs, clarify questions together or help each other with writer's block. This room is designed by and with the people of
the SAKS.
At the same time, the student council meets here every few weeks at the same time before the institute meetings or when there are urgent items on the agenda. You are welcome to contribute your suggestions, criticisms and ideas and to join in at any time.

 

Having a say at the institute

The Executive Board can attend the institute meetings to represent student concerns directly. As a student council, we also have a vote in the election of a (new) professorship or can award a teaching assignment to an external lecturer.

If you would like to join the student council, you can contact us at any time. New members are always welcome. We look forward to getting to know you!
