What

Learn about your university’s vision for the future and connect to it.Make this connection known to the rector, the professors, students, etc.e.g. AUEB’s pillars for the future are: Innovation, Extroversion, Excellence and Social Impact

Have Global Talent or Global Citizen recognized officially as an internship. Use the fact that it has been done before in many departments to make it easier to achieve this.

You can raise a funding from ELKE for students to participate on Global Citizen. Use the knowledge from LCs that have done this before.You have to put a lot of pressure and track the progress constantly!

When your activities, events, programs help the improvement of the University Community discuss the possibility of having the University as a sponsor for them!

AIESECers are the people that should be more active than anyone in the university community! Take initiatives that directly help the improvement of your university and the students. Participate in university events, cooperate with UniServices and Student clubs and get known to everyone!

How do AIESEC members and Alumni impact the university community?What initiatives do they take? How do they influence the globalization of the University?Use the data to position the organization better in the university.e.g. in AUEB, Mazin started TEDxAUEB, Aleksia worked on Social Impact Award, Kostapanos started GloVo, Xenia brought ReGeneration, even influential professors have been AIESECers

We often forget that our relationship with the professors should be treated as any other partnership.There should be regular communication and benefits for both!Also, we should arrange very specific action steps following every interaction and keep track of their progress and deadlines.

Have specific things in mind to communicate to the professors. This way you will also have a reason to arrange a meeting with them.e.g. I wanted them to know about: Our Vision + Our Programs, the LDM, latest changes in the programs, Recent results + Impact

Keep track of your meetings with a tracking tool where you have all the information you need about the professor, the standards for communication that you have defined and the follow-ups planned in your meetings.

Show them how our programs act as a supplement for the educational process.Tell them how our participants gain a competitive edge!Tell them that after those changes we want to give the opportunity to as many students as possible to be benefited by these opportunities.

+1They can be customized according to a specific course/subject and they should be related to our programs.

They are very effective for ELD Promotion!

They add value to the students!

The professors love them!

Running the internship program of the university.We can promote our internships as alternative options, cooperate in events and help them in their operations.

They connect the students with career opportunities.We promote our international internships, cooperate in events, organize workshops for the students and make our programs known!

Research and actions to promote entrepreneurship and innovation.

There’s a lot of things you can do with the other student clubs. It depends a lot on the reality of each university!

Some

Ask about what the university needs from AIESEC.

Take action and initiatives.Add relevance to our programs.

Run a survey for the improvement of the university.

They will immediately learn about AIESEC and they will make plans to participate in all of our programs!Cooperate with other student clubs.

Keep it interesting.Make this an annual tradition!

Post-graduate programs often have a partnership with an internship program. These students are also

very qualified. Why can’t the top-5 of the class every year participate in

Global Talent?

Cooperate with the Erasmus Office to promote Global Citizen or Global

Talent to the students that were rejected for Erasmus Placement.

There’s A LOT of them!Maybe you can have a presentation about it in the official presentation

of the program

UR

You can do a lot of things in UR. The point is choosing the actions that will create the biggest impact!
