Press release
Luisa Vallbracht becomes Student Vice President of the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam
The Senate of the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam has elected Luisa Vallbracht as the new student Vice President. She had previously been nominated for election by a majority of the university's student body. Luisa Vallbracht will take over from Ludwig Schenk at the start of the 2023/2024 winter semester.
The office of student vice president (sVP) is a speciality at German universities. To date, there are only four other student vice presidents in Germany. With this special office, the elected student representatives are represented as full-time members of the university management and the Standing Committee for Studies and Teaching. They are directly involved in key decisions and development processes. The student vice president has been elected at the university since 2013. The term of office is one year, taking office on 01/10/2023.
Luisa Vallbracht: "I would like to dedicate my term of office entirely to current campus events. Active participation of the student body in university politics is invaluable for the students and the institution itself; cooperation is crucial here. I am grateful and full of energy to be able to throw myself into the turmoil of opportunities and challenges and to be able to advocate for communication with one another. Together with the StuRen, the AStA, the Casino, the university management and all those who are willing to participate, I would like to create a stable and functioning basis for university policy at the university of applied sciences."
