From our first day until graduation, the Student Union will do our best to take care of you. Here is how. Your life at Chalmers will be a fun and learning experience, but sometimes tough. We will have your back if something happens in the classroom, the nightclub or the lab. We listen, we react and we care - because the union is made out of incredible material - its members. We also monitor the education (making sure it is top notch) and influence the university and this book will guide you through the amazing opportunities your union offers. And when you leave us one day, you will be a part of a world wide network of alumni providing you with contacts and friends for the rest of your life.

We are committed to everything concern- ing your student life during your time at Chalmers. All 11 000 students at Chalmers are members of the Union. That means 11 000 strong voices who can affect, change and make the student experience more fun and meaningful. However without being properly organized things could easily get out of hand. That is why we have a Student Union Council who are elected by its members and who make the strategic decisions regarding the Union. The everyday work is lead by a management team (Kårledningen) and of course all the thousands of volunteers within the Union. See how we are organized on p. 8 “All members should About the Union thrive and develop Founded: 1904 during their time at Members: 11 000 Chalmers” Annual turn-over: 255 mil.
