Executive committee

Here you can read about the tasks of the various employees in the executive committee of Syddanske Studerende.

FU - explained

The executive committee (abbreviated FU) is responsible for the day-to-day running of the association. This is where the board's work becomes reality and where the big decisions are implemented in the form of the major events we organize.

The chairman's tasks primarily involve contact between the board and the executive committee. In addition, the chairman is the immediate contact person for the organization to, for example, the management at SDU and journalists. It is the chairman's responsibility to ensure that the organization runs smoothly, that there are employees for the positions and that the board is fully constituted and effective.

The vice-chairman's primary responsibility is to assist the chairman. However, by tradition in Syddanske Studerende, the vice chairman has his or her own focus on either the social or political aspects of the organization. Like the chairman, the vice-chairman participates in meetings with the leadership and is the primary contact person for the organization if the chairman is not available.

SDS' organization coordinator is responsible for the primary contact with various organization locally at SDU and in Odense in connection with the SDS' organization network. The organization coordinator is also partly responsible for the political network in SDS among all the students who are elected to various councils and boards at SDU.

The communication manager has the primary responsibility for the organization's internal and external communication. This position is responsible for content and flow on social media, keeping the website updated with relevant and up-to-date information and sometimes also helps with communication strategies and execution for the association's other events: Semesterstartsfesten, Institutdysten and Student Fair, and so on. The communication manager's tasks are therefore both many and varied.

This is the main person responsible for planning and executing Denmark's largest semester start party, which Syddanske Studerende is responsible for organizing at SDU. This includes an organizer group of around 10 people to handle positions working with booking, security, wardrobe, site, volunteers and communication, among other things.

This is the main person responsible for the planning and execution of one of SDU's biggest events, Institutdysten, which Syddanske Studerende is responsible for organizing on The Students' Day. This includes an organizer group of about 10 people who handle different roles working with sponsors, space, volunteers and the planning of all the competitions in relation to tournament schedules and competition rules.

This is the main person responsible for the planning and execution of one of SDU's biggest events, Student Fair, which is organized by Syddanske Studerende. Student Fair is a study start fair that Syddanske Studerende organizes every year to raise aware of some of the organizations that exist outside and at the university.

Since 2015, Syddanske Studerende has helped Tinderbox find volunteers to stand in bars at the festival. The Tinderbox manager in Syddanske Studerende is in charge of collecting these volunteers on behalf of the association and is responsible for scheduling shifts and being present on site during the festival to make sure everything runs smoothly. So there are a number of fixed but also flexible tasks for the Tinderbox manager.

In short:

Syddanske Studerende's executive committee are the people to contact if you have any questions about our work, if you have an idea for our activities or would like to volunteer or help organize one of our events.
