It’s a day filled with student influence, democracy and the nicest students in the world. All RUC-students are welcome and have full participation and voting rights. That means every student at RUC is invited – so come as you are, and bring one of your fellow students if you think they are interested!

The General Assembly is your chance to influence the future of RUC and the Student Council’s work next year.

When and where is the General Assembly?

Date: Saturday the 7th of December 2024

Time: 11:00 – 18:00ish, and after that we’ll eat dinner together!

Location: Yellow room, Building 13 (Student House), RUC

We’ve also made a Facebook event, which we strongly encourage you to follow. That way, you won’t miss the important updates.

Agenda and appendixes

We’ve made a compendium that contains everything you’ll need for the General Assembly. It may look a little daunting at first, but we promise to walk you through it step by step on the General Assembly – and it’s really not as difficult as it looks!

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 6th of December 2024. When you run for a seat on the board, you can get elected to be on the board from February 2025 to January 2026.

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.
