EUGLOH [you·glow] - Faces behind the Alliance:
Could you share a brief overview of your role and responsibilities within the Alliance?
As the International Student Board Coordinator, my primary responsibility is to coordinate the work of representatives from each member university. I assist them with their tasks, organise ISB meetings, and ensure the smooth execution of all assigned duties. Serving as the “liaison” between ISB members and other EUGLOH structures, I keep everyone informed about the latest developments within the Alliance.
How long have you been associated with EUGLOH?
Three months.
How has being part of EUGLOH influenced your personal and/or professional growth?
The experience has provided me with valuable insights into international collaboration, coordination, and the dynamics of a multifaceted Alliance.
What has been your favourite experience or moment within EUGLOH so far?
Even though the start of my ISB coordination period is quite recent, I have already had the chance of encountering some memorable experiences within EUGLOH. One standout moment was witnessing the collaborative spirit of the Alliance’s community during the major projects and initiatives.
What is your favourite EUGLOH initiative?
As a member for only less than three months, I have yet to initiate projects, but I did propose ideas to enhance EUGLOH's visibility and engage students across partner universities.
From your perspective, why is EUGLOH important?
EUGLOH provides a unique platform for fostering international collaboration and addressing global health challenges through a multidisciplinary approach. The Alliance's commitment to seamless mobility, shared procedures, and a diverse network enhances the overall European Higher Education experience.
