The 24-year-old student of sports, culture and event management wants to make the university student body a serious student representative again.
Vienna (OTS) – During the AG federal conference, Verena Gattinger was elected as the new chairwoman of the largest student representative of the Austrian University Students’ Union on Friday, February 9th.
Originally from Upper Austria, Verena Gattinger moved to Vienna to further her studies and at the same time start a professional career. Their commitment to combining studies and work is reflected in their mission: “I want students to also have the opportunity to gain professional experience alongside their studies and to be able to afford a life without losing out”
explains Gattinger.
“It is a great honor and pleasure for me to be able to represent the Aktionsgemeinschaft as federal chairwoman”
I know Gattinger. “I am determined to be the voice of students and represent their concerns at the national level.”
With her passion for the concerns of students, the new federal chairwoman not only wants to work to improve the situation for young people in the world of work, but also brings the topic of digital development at universities into focus. Gattinger also emphasizes the importance of student life: “If you later look back on your time as a student, it should not only be a phase of pure knowledge acquisition, but also serve as a time in which you were able to make friends, have a party or two, and ultimately study together and achieve common exam successes . Universities should be a place to feel good, because only those who feel comfortable enjoy learning!”
Verena Gattinger is therefore a central figure in representing the interests of students. The Aktionsgemeinschaft is confident that under her leadership the AG will continue to be a strong and reliable voice for the students.
The Aktionsgemeinschaft is the largest student representation in Austria and has been the executive at 13 universities since the 2023 ÖH election.
