Our Articles with The Stork
The Stork is the student-led media outlet of IE University that aims to amplify student voices.
We also use it as a channel to disperse information to our community!
Academics
We have been hard at work in ensuring that the responsibilities of a class representative are more clearly defined, and that class representatives are held accountable for their roles.
This involves the pursuing following initiatives:
Community Development
We've spent significant amounts of time reimagining the traditional Freshers' Week to be as welcoming and inclusive as possible. As such, we present to you, Freshers' Welcome.
We have many more exciting events planned for the rest of the year, so keep an eye out here for more information!
President's Committee
Beyond ensuring deadlines over the summer were met across the entire SG team, our committee has been focused on three initiatives.
Communications
This summer, we have taken on a challenge never before successfully maintained by a Student Government: a website to remain fully functional throughout the year, to be a one-stop-shop for all undergraduate students’ needs and desires.
This website primarily caters to first year students’ welcome information for now, but is being expanded to include regular updates from our committees, a growing ledger of university information, a section to highlight student-engagement opportunities from within our community, and more.
Moreover, we have structured how we want to make our Student Government officers more accessible to the student body as individual representatives, along with how to communicate the team’s purposes and endeavors better.
Curious as to what channels we have? Keep an eye out for our regular reels on @ieustudentgovt, @ IE this Week Whats App Chat, Athletics Center Chat, and your inbox!
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion,
We are incredibly excited about the formation of this new committee!
By updating the SG By Laws, we are hoping to cement its purview as a mandatory one for the years to come, as a key form of advocacy for our student body’s needs.
We have been working on including a mandatory structure for all first years to ensure the necessary conversations are being held from the very get-go, and are seeking opportunities to cement constructive and concrete/sincere conversations in our community henceforth.
Based on two small, initial focus groups held in the previous academic year, we prepared a report that was presented to various actors within the community.
