Faculty Student Council for International Business Studies (FSC IBS)
Almost 60 members, lots of action and
no end of work to do during the term –
and still the Faculty Student Council for
International Business Studies enjoys
doing what it does, namely representing
the interests of the students and
helping to make campus life pleasant.
In the 2010/2011 academic year the
executive board consisted of the elected
members Ulrich Lomas (chair),
Robert Seifert (deputy chair) and Nele
Altmeppen and Vincenzo Pollicino
(treasurers).

New students are introduced to the
Faculty Student Council, the biggest
of its kind at Paderborn, straight after
they arrive on campus. Every winter
term the FSC organizes an orientation
period for all new arrivals, and it is also
responsible for putting on the popular
IBS parties twice a year – a highlight
for most of the University’s students.
However, the FSC is not just responsible
for the fun side of student life. Its
members are always on hand to answer
questions relating to the degree program
and to help if any problems turn
up. The FSC can be contacted during its
regular office hour, which is Mondays
through Thursdays between 1 and 2
pm, in room C2.232. A team of alumni
maintains a network of IBS graduates
to assist IBS students in beginning
their career. Finally, once a term the
FSC organizes a study trip to a foreign
country. The destination in 2011 was
the Dutch capital of Amsterdam.

The members of the FSC are also also
active in university politics, serving
on various bodies such as the Faculty
Council, the Examinations Board and
other committees to weigh in, for
instance, when new language lecturers
are appointed. For more information
