Alexia De Medeiros, Student Vice-President of the University since last October 20th, elected by the CEVU (Council for Studies and University Life), granted us an interview to talk about this new experience.
What has been your path so far?
I am 21 years old, of Togolese origin, and I completed a DUT in computer science, then I moved on to MIAGE (Applied Computer Methods for Business Management), and now I am in the second year of this MASTER’s program.
I was president of the DUT association, and I very much like everything that is associative. Not for political ambition but really for the associative side.
I
participated in UNS as President of the Info Students Office for a year, then I was also Treasurer of the MIAGE Students Office, and finally, President of the MIAGE Gala association.
And now, I was elected by the CEVU on October 20, 2011, by all the students.
Why all this involvement?
It’s something that I enjoy, I handle quite a few files, I want to create projects. For example, one point of my program was for students to be able to evaluate education within the University as a whole. And we would like to ensure that all the teachers at the university implement it.
A typical day of a Student Vice-President of the University?
Classes, appointments – I meet all the departments of the University to handle files – meetings, etc.
Do you have a budget?
No, apart from the BDE, we do not have one.
Would you like to add a few words?
Yes, I want to emphasize that I do not work alone, I am with all the elected representatives of each Campus, we work in groups.
