Shoolini Student Union

Students Council is an important part of a university’s functioning. It promotes a sense of ownership amongst students and encourages them to participate in all round activities. Council acts as a conduit between faculty, management, and the students. It provides opportunities to the students to acquire skills in planning, organization, and leadership. The council consists of students with good academic scores, a background of active participation in university events and strong leadership qualities. These students are chosen by the Dean and faculty members after a detailed discussion and deliberation. The chosen students then form the Student Council and elect the office bearers on their own.

The students are elected for the following positions.

• President
• Vice President
• General Secretary
• Treasurer
• Members

The key role and responsibilities of the council are as under:

• Acts as voice of the students - Council acts as the voice of students. It is also expected to uphold, promote, and support the vision of the University. The Council actively participates in planning the activity calendar of the campus. It escalates student issues and reports any outward incident or activity in the campus so that these get addressed. The members of the Council are not merely intermediaries but function more as partners and leaders. The council works in close coordination with faculty to disseminate all relevant information amongst students effectively.
• Running the Induction program - The weeklong Induction program for new students called the Week of Welcome (WOW) is managed and executed largely by the council and students. The Council ensures that every new student finds a BUDDY in a senior student who handholds him/ her not just in the induction week but becomes a friend, mentor, and guide for all times to come. Inviting guest speakers, logistics, security, fun and entertainment are all enthusiastically taken care of by them.
• Placement Coordination - Another key area of responsibility of the council is to assign placement coordinators for each program who are elected by the respective students. The placement coordinators actively participate in the Campus Placement activities in close coordination with the Placement and Career Development Cell. The entire process of bringing out the placement brochure and calendar, collecting resumes, sharing information of the companies visiting the campus, and adhering to the Placement Policy of the University, etc., are overseen by the Council and executed by the respective placement committees.
• Organizing events and community work in the campus - Shoolini University is known for its vibrant campus life. Activities are planned meticulously to ensure a high level of student engagement beyond the classrooms. Besides academics, significant attention is centered on the overall development of the students. The council works closely with the office of Dean Student Welfare to organize various programs like Moksh (Youth Festival), Manchtantra (inter department cultural competition), Prerna Diwas, Teacher’s Day, Independence Day and more. Shoolini events are known for high quality of content and execution because of the active participation by students.
• Hostel Committees - For smooth running of hostels there are different student committees such as mess committee, discipline committee, housekeeping committee and sports and cultural committee in place.

Shoolini genuinely believes in “Giving Back to Society”. Hence, serving the local community and being socially responsible citizens is part of the learning process. The council collaborates with various NGOs and local communities to undertake various projects.
