We, the students, are behind what goes on around the campus outside of the classroom, and every semester countless hours upon hours are spent volunteering at Samfunnet, the UKA and the Student Parliament, just to name a few.

I personally hope I get the opportunity to talk to precisely you, so we can get to know each other!

Ås feministiske studenter Have you put your glasses on? Do you miss female philosophers in ex. phil. and mathematics? Did you know that the first female mathematician in Norway was a docent at Ås? That men’s biggest fear at a tinder date is that the woman is ugly, and women’s biggest fear is to get raped? We in Ås Feminist Students see that there is inequality between gender in our society. An inequality that cannot only be solved by achieving equal rights but that requires attitude changes. Attitudes that unfortunately are kept alive in the culture here at the university today.

The Student Democracy at NMBU Do you want to improve your everyday study situation? This is your opportunity! You can do so by being engaged in the student democracy at NMBU. Either as an elected class representative and represent your class in the Student Council at your institute, as an elected representative in the Student Parliament or as an elected representative in the Institute board – there are numerous opportunities.You can also be engaged and committed by addressing the student democracy about specific cases which can be improved or which are important for you as a student. The Student Democracy at NMBU is the student’s way of raising their voices and concerns towards the central administration, the institutes, the Ministry of education, SiÅs and other organs and committees on Campus. The student democracy is being run on a daily base by the Student Board, where the President and the Vice-President is employed full time. The board does also have an international officer, a welfare officer, a marketing officer and a board member. These representatives are elected by all the students in vote where all students at NMBU can participate. The Student Board has their office close to the student post, in the center of the Campus. At their office you can find coffee and newspapers. Between 12-14 you are sure to find someone to talk to, but you are welcome to stop by anytime! At every institute there is a student council which consists of committed and eager students. Amongst them are the President and Vice-President which are also in the institute board. The Student Council handles all cases from research to education and can make suggestions and recommendations for the institute. The Student Parliament is the highest democratic organ for the students between the general assemblies. Student Parliament meetings are conducted three times each semester and decide upon different resolutions which create strong and effective guidelines for the university administration. The student Parliament travel initiates each semester with a kickoff weekend where the representatives are being educated in student politics, debating and get to know one another. The General assembly is the highest democratic organ at NMBU and is held once every semester. This is open for all students where they can vote and make amendments as to what the Student Board should work on in the next semester. At NMBU the distance to the top administration is short, and the students are represented in all councils. If you experience things as they’re not supposed to be, or have any questions about the student democracy at NMBU? Send an e-mail to studenttinget@nmbu.no.
