Have you ever wondered how this mail actually gets created? Are you interested in taking a peek, or do you have some ideas on how to make the mail even better? Or would you like to work on your writing or programming skills?

Then the AK Stuve-Newsletter is the right place for you! We get together once a month depending on our capacities and collect topics, write, and tinker on mails that regularly provide up to 40,000 students with the latest information and most important dates at the university. We urgently need new recruits - whether for new ideas, collaboration, test reading, or the technical implementation via HTML/MJML.

Does this topic appeal to you? Then check out our Telegram group for the coordination of the mail and take a look at the preparation meeting of one of the next newsletters. The whole thing is noncommittal and you can always put in more or less work - we're just happy to see some new faces!  To the group...

In the last month, a lot has happened here. On 20.06. the university elections begin, in which you can elect your representatives for the next year. You will receive an email with further information before the election.

The discussion about the abolition of exam attempt restriction is also progressing, and the first committees in various faculties have already made positive recommendations.

The Student Council decided at its last meeting that the ordinary semester ticket will not be continued for the winter semester, the contract will be suspended for the time to come.

Due to a rewrite of the support criteria, some university groups are currently losing their status as a Supported University Group. This revision and its effects will be discussed again in the Student Council.  Read more...

The polls, which you can find at the end of our newsletters, are a great tool to find out the general mood of our students on different topics. The number of votes is not counted on the website, but via our shortlink system "stuve.me" - so a simple click on the respective button is enough to be counted.

For example, in the survey on diversity and awareness-raising in the last mail, "Yes, the topic is important to me" received almost 60 clicks, while "No, not my cup of tea" received about 50.

The participation in the FAU-St survey was particularly high (with over 200 clicks) for "Don't see the point". We find this particularly unfortunate, as we would like to use the results of the Student Representation questions, for example, to better advocate for you. Please take a little more time, because very important conclusions for the development of studies at FAU can also be drawn from the topics of wellbeing and studyability!

Until 18 June, you have the opportunity to tell us about your experiences with various aspects of your studies in the FAU student survey. For example, questions focus on the your satisfaction with your studies and your experiences with the advice and service structures at FAU as well as other services offered by various institutions. The student council also contributed questions about student interests. The results will be used to help to further develop the studies at FAU. Your individual invitation link was sent to your FAU mailbox (sender: evaluation@fau.de). As a thank you, we conduct a prize draw with 20 vouchers worth 25 euros.

The Zentrum Wiesengrund will be colourful, glittery and fabulous!
