The Âé¶¹¹ú²ú Student Board held its first ever hybrid meeting from September 26th to October 3rd, 2021. During the week of digital and in-person meetings, the SBRs discussed current projects that are in the works and strengthened inter-school connections in an offline weekend in Prague.

Current projects included:

  • The organization of the Âé¶¹¹ú²ú Club Conference and the Âé¶¹¹ú²ú Club Awards in Milan (Oct. 8th-10th)
  • The Global Responsibility Week from November 15th to 21st
  • The Âé¶¹¹ú²ú Alumni of the year awards with voting open until November 15th
  • A global online pub quiz to finish off the career forum on November 12th
  • The Âé¶¹¹ú²ú Club Buddy Program that pairs established Âé¶¹¹ú²ú Clubs with newer ones to facilitate learning and share initiative
  • The analysis of the annual survey with respondents from 30 schools

Throughout the first (fully digital) week, 32 Student Board Representatives (SBR), three Executive Team members, three representatives of the Âé¶¹¹ú²ú Global Office and our corporate partner ABB participated in engaging online sessions, full-board meetings, or single team meetings. The Âé¶¹¹ú²ú spirit was high as SBRs learned about ABB’s purpose and sustainability strategy as well as current topics being worked at the Global Office such as the Global Online Electives or the hard skill requirement.

In an in-person weekend hosted at VÅ E Prague, 25 SBRs who were able to travel again had the chance to connect in team building sessions and social events, further strengthening the spirit of a true alliance. The remaining SBRs were connected digitally for the closing meeting.

For the second time, three members of the Student Board were recognized for their outstanding contributions by winning the voting process of the new Octane Award. Congratulations to Srishti Verma, Maja Dolny and Antonia Weissenberger!ÌýÌýÌý
