Student Party Stimulus are the student representatives in the School Council of TSB - the social faculty of Tilburg University. Our mission is to represent TSB students, so that they can fully develop themselves within and outside their studies. We execute our mission by realizing our 4 pillars:
“Connecting people in meaningful ways”
We are connecting people by hosting the Faculty Forum where all
study associations and parties of TSB bend over important issues regarding students. Next to that, we value partnerships such as TSB Platform, University Forum, Election Committees and Education Committees to strengthen each other. Additionally, we bond with other student representative parties, like SAM, Front and Active TSB to better represent the TSB students. Besides all these connections we host the International Advisory Group to really get to know what is important for international students and what can be done to fulfill their needs. At last, we organize annual drinks to get to know the study associations and parties of TSB better, which makes the collaboration more smoothly.
“Let people excel by providing support"
To make sure that students can excel themselves, we discuss, give advice and improve documents from the School Council. These documents influence how education is organised for students. Furthermore, we provide faculty wide input towards associations within TSB. We also think it is very important to support the international students so, we are creating a manual on housing, studying and living in the Netherlands. Finally, if students have faculty related questions, they can always reach out to us and we will answer their questions.
“Enhancing transparency”
Communication is the key to successfully cooperate and staying informed. We proactively seek the opinion of the TSB students through our social media channels by asking about their opinions on certain topics and we also keep them informed about what is discussed in the School Council. Furthermore, we also listen to other things students have on their minds, act upon it and give back the results.
“Guarding and improving the quality of education”
Quality of education has always been one of the most important points of the School Council. We collaborate with the education committees to preserve and improve the quality of education, for example by reviewing the course evaluations of the students. Besides that, we are also working to improve the labour market relevance of courses, so that students are better prepared for their future jobs. During the School Council meetings we discuss topics with the Management Team like the Annual Plan, Budget, Quality Agreement and Language Consistency.
