Hi, I’m Michael, and I’m currently pursuing my Master’s in Philosophy. I was involved in Sprat from 2020 to 2023, then served for a year as the spokesperson for the Bavarian Student Council (BayStuRa). Now I’m back and am serving as a Sprat member and student senator.

This term in office I have already had the opportunity to literally break down walls and in doing so, draw attention to the severe underfunding of our university system and lack of maintenance support from the Bavarian government. I look forward to a constructive and inspiring term ahead, and I’m here to listen to your ideas, concerns, and critiques. Together, let’s make our FAU a better place for everyone!

Hey 😊 my name is Ann-Sophie (she/her), I'm studying human medicine and I'm in my third term in the Sprat. This year, I'm once again representing you in the Senate. I am also a delegate to the Bavarian State Student Council, a member of the ZGS and spokesperson for the FSV Med.

During this term of office, I would like to continue to work to ensure that no students feel excluded or discriminated against at the university and to do improve the network between the FSVs and students in Bavaria. If you have any concerns or questions, please feel free to write to me at any time. 😊

Your Ann-Sophie

Hi everyone! We are the Referat Queer of the student representation here at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität. We are here to take care of the representation of all sexual and gender identities outside the hetero or cis norm.

We offer a space for queer people and topics, take part in university politics and diversity work, organise events, connect with the community, debate, and inform. Some examples of our work include meetings with the heads of university about topics such as changes coming with the self-determination law and the gender-neutral language ban, cooperation with the office for gender and diversity, yearly participation at CSD Erlangen, but also community events like our recent button-making event, at which we spent some time together crafting badges.

At our weekly organisational meetings, interested people can visit flexibly and take part (you'll find the schedule in our instagram bio @referatqueerfau​​​​​​​). This is where we discuss current topics, upcoming events and more. We are especially thrilled by new ideas being brought in. Additionally, we like to connect with (queer) people and organizations within and outside the FAU.

The word “Queer” as part of our name is an umbrella term for people identifying as LGBTQIA+ (lesbian, gay, bi, trans*, (gender) queer/questioning, inter*, asexual, aromantic, agender + everyone else who identifies themselves with the queer community).

We hope to see you at our get-to-knowing meeting on the 6th of May at 6:30 pm, at the Stuve-building (Turnstrasse 7, Erlangen).

You can find more about us on our Instagram page, @referatqueerfau, or contact us via email, stuve-queer@fau.de.

We are the students who deal with the public perception of the Stuve. This newsletter is certainly our biggest project. In addition, we also work on the design of new stickers and other merchandise, as well as the Stuve's Instagram channel. We make sure that the events organised by the student groups reach a wider audience and that people get to see what we in the student council are up to all the time.

Anyone can take part, no previous knowledge is necessary. The next meeting of the Ref PR will take place on 05.05.2025 from 7:00 pm via Zoom statt. If you would like to contact us in any other way first, please send us an email to stuve-pr@fau.de.
