It's all in YOUR Hands! - The StuPa Election 2024

Hi everyone,
I'm Isa and I'm currently in the final stages of my bachelor's degree in computer science.
I am now aiming for my second legislature in the student parliament. In the last legislature, I was part of the presidium and got to know the parliament from a formal point of view. I prepared and chaired many of the meetings and assisted with taking minutes.
Through my work on the Presidium, I came into close contact with the Student Council and supported the representatives as much as possible.
I still see the semester ticket as one of the major issues for the new legislature. Other major and important points are the reworking of the statutes and regulations as well as the new election of the Student Council.
Constructive cooperation and the integration of different opinions and ideas are important to me.

To ensure that the parliament is well-filled again this year, I, like Fabian Mildner before me, have launched the list 0xb8000 and look forward to every vote on our list.

My journey at BTU has been incredibly enriching, both academically and personally. I have actively participated in various student organizations and events, which has given me a profound appreciation for the importance of student representation and advocacy.

If elected, my primary goals will include:

1. Enhancing Support for Students: I aim to improve the resources and support systems available for international students, ensuring they feel integrated into the university community. This includes expanding orientation programs, providing more comprehensive language support, and creating networking opportunities.
2. Promoting Cultural Exchange: I will work towards adding more events and initiatives that celebrate the diverse cultures represented at our university. By promoting intercultural dialogue and understanding, we can build a more cohesive and inclusive community.
3. Advocating for Student Welfare: I am committed to addressing issues related to student welfare, such as health support, accommodation, and employment. By collaborating with university administration and relevant stakeholders, I will strive to improve the overall student experience.
4. Encouraging Student Engagement: I believe in the power of student voices and will actively seek input from the student body to ensure that their concerns and ideas are heard and acted upon.

My diverse background and experiences have equipped me with a global perspective and a deep understanding of the challenges faced by students. I am confident that my dedication, enthusiasm, and leadership skills will enable me to effectively represent our student body and contribute to the growth and development of our university.

Hello dear students,

I'm sure I've already met some of you at the events of the Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Student Council, where I've been an elected member since 2018.

But now let me briefly talk about the work we have done (thanks to your trust in the last legislature): We achieved our major goal of reintroducing the semester ticket. This year, the aim is to further refine and improve it. This could be an included bicycle transport or the option of switching from the German semester ticket to a cheaper semester ticket in the old tariff area.

As a member of parliament, I would also like to create opportunities for students, boards of students, initiatives and associations to realize their projects. I also always have an open ear for the problems of these student bodies. To this end, I took part in many meetings of the Student Council (StuRa) during the last legislature. I hope I was able to convince you in the last term and that you will place your trust in me for another term.

Cheers!
Anton

I am running for a place in the student parliament at the Brandenburg University of Technology to draw attention to student problems in Cottbus, from the perspective of a student at my university.

In my hometown Potsdam, I have already been working as a student speaker for the interdisciplinary matters of my fellow students. Here in Cottbus, I would like to continue along this path offering an open mind and ear to my student colleagues and standing up for the student community. I want to take this exciting challenge and make a difference.

For example, to engage in a dialog with public representatives and politicians and draw attention to the funding of the Students Union (Studentenwerke) so that they can continue to expand their service in canteens, cafés, and student dormitories. I want to promote the consultation services for students and point to the allocation of BAföG and the amount of funding.

In a time of polarization and populist claims, we must take a firm stand against Discriminatory stements and anti-democratic tendencies.

The pressing problems of students will not be solved by gender bans within state institutions, as has recently been the case in Bavaria. Priorities must be set accordingly. The BTU can show that diversity, tolerance, inclusion, and diversity do not only end at the borders of the university campus but are also lived throughout the entire city.

We are the RCDS-Cottbus-Senftenberg and have recently been founded with the aim of ensuring a safe learning and working environment for students at the locations.

We are also involved in the BUK (Building and Art History) and FEM (Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering) student councils and hope to continue to support your ideas and interests in the future.

We are standing up for you with these ideas:

Reduce GEZ! Relief for students:

We will campaign at state and federal level with our partners in the more than 100 RCDS university groups for a reduction in the GRZ fees for students and trainees.

Strengthen voluntary work! :

We want to strengthen the associations and student councils at our university, in particular by reducing bureaucratic hurdles in the application for financial resources and approvals.

Transparency is our self-image! :

We are committed to making university policy more transparent by communicating the decisions of the student parliament more widely.

Strengthen the public voice! :

We see it as our duty to advocate more public votes on university policy issues in order to respect the will of the voters and strengthen your right to co-determination.

Exceptions in the semester ticket! :

We want to make exceptions to the semester ticket possible for students with special needs.

Freedom of research! :

For us, the freedom of research within an ethical framework is a fundamental right under Article 5 (3) of the Basic Law, and this freedom therefore enjoys special protection.

We therefore reject radical restrictions on research at colleges and universities.

Parking cards for boards of students! :

We advocate the introduction of parking cards for the boards of students of our university; these should allow the parking of vehicles in restricted areas that are used for the transportation and storage of materials.

Good food is a must! :

Once again, we see it as our duty to demand a more balanced range of food in our university canteen. In short, there must be more affordable meat dishes again, in addition to the expensive “Mensa Premium”.
