An important task for you is to elect a motivated and active VSUZH council every two years. All 27,000 students should cast their vote - including you. The student parliament consists of at least 70 members and implements your ideas for a better university in cooperation with professional associations and student organizations. All VSUZH members can be elected to university commissions by the VSUZH Council. Most of all you can help shape the university if you are actively committed to the VSUZH. Will you soon be a student delegate or a member of the VSUZH executive? You can find some of the exciting ways to get involved in the following sections.
