List Opportunity Builds Progress (OBP)

Dear colleagues,

My name is Suzanne and I have been working for FSE for 8 years.  I am married, mother of 2 daughters and since several weeks grandmother of beautiful Lío. I am excited to apply for a position on the Faculty Council.

In my previous role as student affairs officer and as a secretary to the Board of Examiners for 3 Master programs and 1 Bachelor program at FSE Central, I’ve worked closely with both students and staff. Additionally, as secretary to the BSA committee, I am processing decisions that impact student progress. I know how things work!

Over the years, I have come to know our faculty well—its strengths, its challenges, and, most importantly, the people who make the faculty what it is. The Faculty Council plays a vital role in representing students and staff. With my experience and involvement, I want to contribute to fair decision-making and a healthy working environment where both staff and students feel heard and supported. Good policy starts with listening to the people who matter—and that’s what I aim to do.

If elected, I will advocate for policies that improve both staff and student experience, ensuring that our faculty continues to thrive.

Looking for a critical, honest representative who listens well and isn't afraid to ask tough questions? Vote for me!

Thanks so much for your vote!

Suzanne

Dear FSE colleagues,

My name is Ray Ket and I have been working at FSE since 2021. In the past years I’ve experienced our faculty to be an ultra-dynamic working place. Constantly looking for growth while keeping focus on the main goal: offering our students an unforgettable study experience and creating an enjoyable working environment for its employees. The support staff play a vital role in both, and it would be my pleasure to represent you within the faculty council.

My initial focus points are:

• to provide more insight into the Recognition and Rewards programme within the UM. Although the programme has been running for a few years, I believe it’s still fairly unknown. Especially for FSE support staff, staying proactive and agile are basic competences, and our successes must not remain unseen.
• to enhance the collaboration and sharing of knowledge between support staff. Although FSE consists of different departments, the common faculty we share and the nature of the work is what brings us together. In other words, let’s share the wealth of knowledge we have to make each other’s life easier.

With your support I would like to proudly represent my fellow FSE OBP colleagues in the faculty council!

See you in the hallways!

Ray
