Bregt made this announcement Tuesday afternoon in a Microsoft Teams livestream. A total of 28.76 per cent of the students with voting rights cast a vote. ‘That’s a bit less than last year but then there was campaigning on campus. Now all that is happening online so it’s actually a good turnout.’ ‘The Student Council is an important consultative body within Wageningen University,’ stresses Bregt. ‘Teaching quality and student welfare are very important. Students play a key role in that via the Student Council.’ The Council consists of 12 students, with annual elections. Members of the Council meet regularly with individual students, student societies, study associations and the university’s Executive Board to discuss such topics as mental health, student rights, careers and waste disposal on campus. The Student Council has three parties at present: Sustainability & Internationalization (S&I), United Students (VeSte) and the Christian Students Party (CSF).
The members of the Student Council for the coming academic year are:
Ruth Amoako-Adusei (CSF)
Lan Rajlic (S&I)
Chenyue Li (S&I)
Tamkin Haider (S&I)
Ardha Vashti (S&I)
