Tasks

The Student Representative Group represents the student council, for example, in dealings with faculty members, the faculty, and the department. It also regularly exchanges ideas with other student councils at the University of Potsdam (UP) through the VeFa and manages the student council’s finances. Each FSR decides for itself what specific work it will perform. Over time, however, certain tasks have emerged that each FSR traditionally takes on and carries out. These tasks are in addition to a wide range of informational activities, as well as conversations, research, discussions, and the preparation of responses to individual questions, the resolution of urgent problems, and the initiation or management of long-term developments:Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
