NovUM University Council
As candidates of the biggest party in UM, NovUM, we want to fight for your rights as students to be represented and make your voices heard! We have a diverse but clear focus on:
- Internationalism,
- Well-being,
- Education,
- Housing, and
- Sustainability
Our goals for next year include changing the relationship between the university and the food provider, Eurest, so that we as students have access to affordable and sustainable food.
It is our aim to improve the well-being of students by working with and beyond the Sexual Safety Program to ensure that there are procedures and infrastructures in place for survivors, as well as educational content for all students on consent and sensitivity to sexual safety.
We wish to create an inclusive environment for students who suffer from disabilities. Particularly, we need to draw more attention to invisible disabilities and urge the university to offer better support to those who suffer from them, regardless of faculty or study program.
We want to increase the capacity of the UM Guesthouse as well as expand the reach of the Huurteam Zuid-Limburg to enable it to aid students who live past the Belgian and German border.
Don't hope for change, vote for it!
Andrew William Scrivener
Hi! I am a Belgian/English student who is passionate about student welfare. For the past year, I have been fighting to make your life better: with more housing options, cheaper cafeteria food options and more accessible education for students with visible/invisible disabilities.
I want to continue this fight to bring about real lasting change at UM. With a key emphasis on protecting English-speaking education. Both international students and staff members are having their rights threatened. Let's fight together for a better, inclusive community of Dutch and International students.
Vote for NovUM.

Hello! I'm Shari, but everyone knows me as Sha. I have a bachelor's in International Relations and I'm currently studying a second bachelor's in Humanities. What, like it's hard?
Well, it is not. You just have to care. If elected, I will fight for real sustainability, no more greenwashing, by supporting the implementation of binding sustainability goals. I will work to improve student well-being through consent lectures that prioritise a safe environment for survivors, as well as better professional psychological help and providing food and housing security.
