Condus’ Monthly Newsletter 9/2018

Condus would like to cordially welcome all new freshmen to our faculty!

Condus is the student umbrella organization of the Educational Sciences Faculty of Helsinki University, to which all 10 of the faculties student organizations and two non -faculty organizations are a part of. As such Condus does not have individual members, but by being a member of any of the student organizations you also become a fellow Condusian!

As a faculty student organization Condus does not focus on matters or events of merely one subject program, instead we organize events for everyone who studies within the Educational Sciences faculty and to anyone who is a member of our member organizations. One of our main focus is to ensure the rights of students and the various study programs located within the faculty. We also strive to maintain good spirits and cooperation between our various member organizations.

It’s easy to become a part of Condus’s activity through our various committees, of which there are six: International-, Student Rights-, Events-, Tutoring-, Equality- and Environment Committee. You can get to know all the committee’s without any kind of binding obligations. If you really want to commit, a new board is elected at the ending of each year for the next year. New board members are always welcome and no prior experience is needed, all you need is good spirits and interest!

Board members of Condus will gladly answer any questions you have, the easiest way to contact us is through our Facebook -page or our email. Feel free to also ask us on campus! Hopefully we’ll get to know each other better. Once more, welcome and good luck with your studies!

Matters of Education

Problems with your studies? – Worry not!

Congratulations to all freshmen for their new place of study! A unforgettable adventure awaits you within university life.

As with all adventures, sometimes you’re faced with setbacks when it comes to your studies. It can be a new practice implemented within the faculty, a challenging professor or some other larger politically charged educational conundrum.

When this happens, contact your student rights team! No matter what your issue is, the faculties student rights coordinators will gladly help. You can always start with the student right coordinators within your own student organization (for example, if your studying to be a teacher or general -and adult education, be in contact with Peduca’s student rights team).

If faced with a more serious issue then you should contact us, Condus’s student rights coordinators, since if need be we have the power to take the matter to the faculties management or Helsinki Universities Student Parliament. If your not sure who to contact, then you can always drop us a message and ask! You can find our email below.

If you’re the kind of person who isn’t afraid to call out problems and being active in the faculty, then by all means join us! Together we can make our lives better.

Student Rights Committee

Condus’s Student Rights Committee combines teamwork within the faculty, influencing decision making and having a good time. During committee meetings we often discuss current pressing issues within the faculty and try to solve these issues. All students are welcome to attend committee meetings, be you a freshmen or a seasoned student.

You can at any point join the committee joining the Facebook group (the link is below). The group is used to coordinate the next committee meeting and so that members can follow current issues and discuss them with other members.
