NovUM FSE/UCM/UCV
It is recognized by NovUM that there is a need for improvement in the issues students are dealing with. NovUM is dedicated to solving these problems to enhance students` quality of life, focusing on internationalism, education, and well-being. NovUM`s efforts in advancing the Faculty of Science and Engineering align with its broader vision of building a more prosperous and sustainable future for all. There are a few bullet points that we will be aiming at achieving this year.
Education
- Develop a forum for academic planning discussions, focusing on course scheduling, elective choices, and career pathways within the FSE.
- Compile an advisor directory to guide students in choosing advisors based on individual needs, ensuring access to knowledgeable and supportive mentors.
- Establish a peer-to-peer support network
- To provide more mock exams for FSE students, collaborate with faculty to publish exams from previous years for practice.
- Students will have increased opportunities to participate in exchange programs.
- Advocate for the reinstatement of the reflection week after Period 5 in the MSP.
Well - being
- To open faculty grounds for students during the weekend, as it has been the case for pre-Covid UCM, it provides an extra familiar study space and for student events to take place during weekends.
- Faculty departments are cold in winters and summers, heating should be adjusted sustainably.
- Call for the reintroduction of resit exams on Periods 3 and 6 in the MSP.
These initial actions signify just some priorities that NovUM will be working on. The aim will be to support the faculty by implementing measures to reduce their workload and alleviate pressure, thereby fostering a more supportive and conducive academic environment.

1-Better academic advising support, focusing on course planning and career paths to improve the future of FSE students. For students to make informed decisions about which courses to take based on their career goals and academic interests.
2- Improved accessibility to internship programs related to science, engineering, and liberal arts. By creating resume-building workshops, job interview prep sessions, and career fairs.
3- Accessible resources and peer support for mental health. This includes initial guidance and support to create a more supportive community environment.

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.
