Vice President

Aug 2021 - Aug 2022
My work with OSSA was recognised and in 2021 I was chosen to be part of the executive board. Vice-president of OSSA plays a crucial role in leading the organization alongside the President, representing OSSA in public events, and driving initiatives that support the organization's mission and vision on a global scale. As one of the two biggest organisations whose aim is to represent their students' interests and lobby for their rights, we had a significant role on an institutional and national level and manage to establish better terms for students choosing to study abroad. Together with partnering organisations, we created a platform where students can inform themselves about any administrative changes in Serbia, any requirements about the enrolment and moving to a new university and country, as well as provide information about events and scholarships available to them. That way we managed to ensure that the students studying abroad have a network of people and access to information necessary for a smooth experience of academic exchange. Show less
