Dear students, 

We, the Faculty Council of ET, would like to introduce ourselves to the ET community. 

Who are we? We are a group of five employees and five students from ET who got elected last June to represent the interests of the ET employees and students to the ET Faculty Board. We are a very diverse group and we aim to represent everyone in the ET community: Floris-Luc and Kirsten are studying Civil Engineering; Bernd and Veerle, Mechanical Engineering; and Alexandra, Industrial Design Engineering. As for the staff members, Wieteke is a Lecturer and Eli is an Assistant Professor, both in the Design, Production and Management group. Irma works in the Finance Department, Hanneke is a PhD Candidate and Lecturer in the Mechanics of Solids, Surfaces & Systems department, and Laura is a PhD Candidate in the Civil Engineering and Management Department.

What do we do? We meet regularly and discuss Faculty-related topics, such as finances, student activities, housing, wellbeing or research and education. We give our opinion to the Faculty Board on such topics and advise, if needed. 

What can we do for you? You can come to us if you have a question, worry, trouble, problem, feedback, idea, or opinion on a Faculty-level matter. If it is a topic that affects several people at ET, we will discuss it with the Faculty Board. However, we cannot guarantee that direct solution will be found, we can only shake the tree for you.  
For example, do you have an opinion or worry about how the budget cuts at the UT effect your education?  Or are you worried about how the Horst renovation will affect the amount of work places to study? We will represent you and we will voice your concerns to the Faculty Board!

How can you contact us? You can send us an email at fr-et@utwente.nl or an (anonymous) message through our ideabox. Our meeting schedule and further information can be found on our website. Furthermore, we will host coffee moments for you to reach out to us in person and with no prior appointment needed – more information will follow soon! Of course, if you know some of us, you can always reach us personally and we will bring up your comment to the whole Faculty Council. 

 We hope to hear from you soon! 

Best, 

The Faulty Council of ET
