  • encouraging active student participation with a view to allowing students to fully play their role as active citizens, leaders and critics within society and ULiège;
  • ensuring the flow of information between staff and students;
  • appointing representatives within the various ULiège bodies (Board of Directors, Board of Studies etc.)
  • informing students of their rights, with regard to university life and the educational opportunities available to them.
