You need to sign up for lunch and dinner

Join SR’s Board of Directors

You can also run for SR’s Board of Directors, aka. “the board”. The board meets approximately once a month, follow what SR does and makes decisions for SR’s work throughout the year. So if you want to become a more integrated part in the representation of the students, both locally at RUC and nationally via Danske Studerendes Fællesråd, and want a say in the type of events and activities we make, then you should strongly consider running for the board.

The only requirement is that you are a student at RUC. You can run for a seat on the board on the General Assembly. If you are unable to attend the General Assembly, you can also announce your candidacy by sending an email to contact@sr-ruc.dk no later than Friday the 1st of December 2023. When you run for a seat on the board, you can get elected to be on the board from February 2024 to January 2025.

A friendly tip: Think about what you find interesting about SR and how you hope to work with that as a board member. If you can say a little bit about that on the General Assembly, that makes your candidacy stronger!

Other ways of being part of SR

There are many ways to be active in the Student Council at RUC. Besides participating in the General Assembly, and maybe running for a seat on SR’s board, you can also join our committees.

As a committee member, you don’t need to get elected – all you need to do is show interest in joining a specific committee. We have committees making social events (such as the semester start party), committees working with student politics, and much more!

By going to the General Assembly, you can get an overview of the options within SR. You can be a part of the committees no matter if you’re a board member or not, but if you’re motivated and driven, there are more ways to take advantage of the possibilities if you’re also a board member.

If you’re not quite sure what you want to do yet, you can also start by joining our volunteer group on Facebook – and then take everything one step at a time.

The Student Council is looking for a RUS Chairpersonship to oversee the planning and execution of RUC Tutoring 2024.

The RUS Chairpersonship consists of two people who are given the overall responsibility for ensuring that tutors receive the necessary training and that Tutoring is carried out in a satisfactory manner. This includes the recruitment of tutors, organization and execution of a training program, division of tutors into tutor groups, coordination of trips and events, preparation of a budget, and general support of the tutors’ work. It is also the responsibility of the RUS Chairpersonship to ensure that the overall objectives of Tutoring 2024 are achieved, the most important of which is the provision of a comprehensive and engaging study start for new students.

As part of their work, the RUS Chairpersonship is expected to collaborate and keep an open, ongoing dialogue with the Student Council’s Chairpersonship and secretariat regarding practical tasks and the development of the Tutoring concept. 

Personal Requirements

The position requires effective organizational skills and a strong sense of overview for large projects. It additionally requires but is not limited to, the ability to handle stressful situations and pressure, that you have an understanding of (or willingness to learn) to work with budgets and accounts, and skills (and preferably experience) in volunteer management.

Furthermore, in-depth knowledge of Tutoring in its entirety is required. The RUS Chairpersonship must cooperate with many different parties, including tutors, a RUSK team, the Student Council’s Chairpersonship and board, and RUC’s administrative staff. Therefore, a RUS Chairpersonship must be cooperative and seek compromise, while still maintaining the ability to follow a clearly defined course of action and reach broad, overarching goals. Finally, it is expected that the RUS Chairpersonship is passionate about creating a fantastic Tutoring for all new bachelor students starting at RUC in 2024.

Lastly, it is required that you are an enrolled RUC student during the entire chairpersonship period.

Remuneration:

The RUS Chairpersonship will be remunerated with the equivalent of 200 hours of work in total. However, this figure is not representative of the total volunteer time commitment, which is expected to be significantly higher. The salary is paid out as an honorarium from the Student Council, which amounts to DKK 30,000 in total, to be distributed between the RUS Chairpersons. The honorarium is paid according to a further agreement with the Student Council’s Chairpersonship. The final payment will not be made until the submission of a report/review of Tutoring 2024 by the RUS Chairpersonship.

Applications and Content:

Written applications are to be sent to persson@sr-ruc.dk no later than Wednesday the 29th of November 2023 at 23:59.

In the application, the applicants are expected to, in addition to explaining their qualifications for the position, consider how they want to develop Tutoring in the future. This is to include detailing how they will meet their objectives.

The application must detail the aspects of Tutoring you believe are important to focus on in 2024. We do not expect you to have Tutoring 2024 planned out – however, it is important that you have included your reflections and priorities prior to future employment.

Ideas for content can thus be the following (though anything can be included as long as your visions and priorities are clear):

• What visions will you work towards in 2024 – for example in relation to inclusion, communication, or something else?
• How will you recruit RUSKs and tutors?
• How will you organize the training and education plan to ensure that the tutors are ready to carry out their work? This applies to, among other things, seminars and what each should contain.
• What are your reflections on your own qualifications – especially in relation to the above description of the role. Feel free to name other things you find relevant.

Interviews:

Interviews will be held in December. Interviews will be conducted by a recruitment committee and will be based on the written applications.

The recruitment committee consists of at least:

• Representatives from the Student Council
• The 2023 RUS Chairpersonship
• Tutors from 2023
• Employees from the study and career guidance

Questions related to the above can be directed to:

The Chairperson of the Student Council Jannick Persson – persson@sr-ruc.dk

You will also get a physical copy when you come to RUC for the first day of Tutoring. It’s produced according to the standards of the Nordic Swan Ecolabel (Svanemærket) – because it’s important to take care of the environment!
