Chair Of The Faculty Council For Health, Nutrition And Sport
The Hague Area, Netherlands
Since September 2016 I have been sworn in as student member of the Faculty Council for Health, Nutrition and Sport, the administrative unit that houses my bachelor programme 'Nutrition and Dietetics'. In September 2017 my fellow council members appointed me as their Chair, meaning I am the primary contact point for outside parties as well as leading our meetings. From this position I represent the approximately 3800 students and 180 staff members and their interests when speaking to the Faculty Director. I also take part in the application process for managerial positions from this position.My main accomplishment with my work for the Faculty Council is a smooth transition between the old legislative situation surrounding Degree Programme Advisory Committees (DPAC) and the new legislative situation that came into effect on September 1st, 2017. Through consultation with DPAC's, Programme Directors and the Faculty Director, I was able to forge a stronger mutual bond between four DPAC's. This bond is strengthened even further due to the fact that these four DPAC's have a member that is also sworn in as a member of the Faculty Council. With my work within the Faculty Council, I mainly gained experience with processes within an organization, such as: 'reading and reviewing policy plans', 'reading budgets', 'board meetings', 'organizational development', 'organizational sensitivity' and 'process improvement'. In addition, I have also developed myself in skills such as: 'meeting' and 'arguing'.
