Hello, I'm Angelina. In addition to the AStA, I am also on various committees, such as the Academic Senate, the StuPa, the Development Planning Commission and the Commission for Studies and Teaching. My aim is to make studying in general more student-friendly and inclusive and to represent students in this process at all university levels. My honorary position means that students can come to me at any time and I do my best to solve problems for students in the university context.
