Student Board Representative Elections!

Dear fellow CEMSies,

 After an exciting year full of unforgettable projects and overall experience, the time has come to elect a new motivated individual who would take over the role of Student Board Representative. Therefore, I am calling for elections of a new CEMS Global SBR for the upcoming year.

There is a number of reasons why to apply for this position – the major opportunities involve:

  • Work in international setting – you are constantly in touch with some 20+ nationalities from all over the world.
  • Representation of the students’ voice and an opportunity to shape the CEMS by projects on global level with local impact – the past year has been full of ideas which were finally translated into practice – to name a few, you can have a look at the New Generation Consulting, the Asia-Pacific Forum, the CEMS Forest or the newly launched cooperation with an NGO Building Tomorrow. More details to be found on our CEMS SB Facebook profile. 
  • Participation on conferences with other SBRs and stakeholders of the CEMS community – apart from hundreds of emails and hours of skype calls, you get the opportunity to attend Student Board Meetings which take place 3 times a year at one of the member universities to tackle the most burning issues, to launch new projects and to move the ongoing ones forward in a face-to-face work setting.

If interested, please submit your application consisting of CV and Motivational Letter (no longer than 1 A4) to jakub.mazal@cemsmail.org by next Sunday, January 10th, 23:59 CET. The candidates will then be announced together with their applications via email, Facebook and our website. 

You can find more information on the dedicated page!

In case there are still questions or concerns that have not been addressed above, please do not hesitate to write me an email or message me on Facebook. 

Best regards,

Jakub

CEMS Club President Elections

Dear CEMSies,

After great year of leading CEMS Club Prague, the time has approached for a new motivated individual to take over the reins. Therefore, I am calling for elections of a new CEMS Club president for the Spring semester of 2016.

There is number of reasons why to apply for this position – the major opportunities involve:

  • Managing team of over 10 people.
  • Communication with all CEMS stakeholders (corporate partners, Prague’s CEMS office, Student Board and CEMS Headquarter representatives).
  • Opportunity to work on projects that you dream of.
  • Ability to shape the CEMS community and enrich the student life.
  • Participation on conferences with other Heads of CEMS Club and much more!

If interested, please submit your application, including CV and Motivation Letter to jan.volny.jr@gmail.com by December 13th, 2015. The candidates will then be announced together with their applications via email, Facebook and our websites (cems.cz). All CEMS students with VSE as a home university will have opportunity to vote for their future CEMS Club president.

Your time to shine has come!

With kind regards,
Jan

Any questions ? Please take a look at the below additional information:

Who is eligible to run for the CEMS Club President?
In the first round, everyone who will be in Prague for the summer semester 2015/2016 – that is home students (both first and second year present in Prague from February 2016), as well as incoming exchange students. In case there are no candidates in the first round, the CEMS Club Prague might extend the election towards those students going abroad for the exchange semester. However, remote leadership of the Club creates more hurdles than benefits and would not be preferred.

Who is eligible to vote for the CEMS Club President?
Every student with Prague as a home university (both first and second year students), as well as incoming exchange students. Also, the candidate himself/herself is eligible to vote.

What is the voting process?
The candidates will be revealed on Facebook and their applications will be sent via email. Students will then vote by sending an email to info@cems.cz with the name of the candidate. If there would be only one candidate, he/she becomes president instantly.

Do I have to commit for one year (i.e. two semesters) or one semester only?
The whole handover process, as well as building the team, knowledge and experience takes time. Therefore, we prefer to see certain fluency and would be happy to see candidates willing to lead the CC Prague for two semesters. However, there is no rule prohibiting you from running for the President if you can perform the role for only one semester.

Do I have to run with a whole team of CEMSies for each and every position in the Club?
Obviously, it might be a benefit to show that you already have a team of motivated students willing to contribute to the Club under your command. However, this is not a requirement and from past experience, the club’s head will not have troubles to find motivated students willing to join the club after elections.

Is there election of all the roles? Who is actually elected and who is appointed?
Only the CEMS Club President gets elected and it is his/her responsibility to build up the team taking care of the various roles within the Club (for further details, please see the current team structure). I am holding the elections now to allow sufficient time to build up the team and get everyone on board before the next semester starts.
The only member of club besides president that has to go through the election process is the Student Board Representative and is elected independently on the current team for period of 1 year.

Meet the Consulting with CEMS

The CEMS Programme cordially invites all VŠE students to the evening session MEET THE CONSULTING WITH CEMS, which will be held on Tuesday, November 10, 2015 at 19:45 in RB 212.
