- Exchange Students: the event must include elements to meet the students where they are: reflection over their exchange semester, expectations from themselves and DTU as well as have strong academic content and room for creating inclusive communities.
Furthermore, you’ll be collaborating on the following tasks:
- Event Creation: in collaboration with relevant partners (e.g. Carbon Team DTU) two events must be created to with goal of ‘bringing people together’.
- Cabin Trip Creation: in collaboration with several coordinators (of whom you recruit) you ensure the successful planning and execution of cabin trips for Masters Students/Exchange Students.
