Are you interested in participation? The student council sometimes needs a council assistant if a council member resigns and she cannot find a replacement. A council assistant is in principle a general council member but has no official voting rights. In addition, each council has an official secretary who is responsible for taking minutes, planning and other support activities.
The following vacancies are currently open:
