Verenigd Onder Studentenbelang (V.O.S.)
Verenigd Onder Studentenbelang (V.O.S.) is the student party represented in the University Student Council (USC) that advocates on behalf of the umbrella associations of Radboud University: SOFv, NSSR, CODC, B.O.S. and CSN. V.O.S. was founded on the belief that an active student life is essential to the university, and that cooperation between social, cultural, sports-, study- and religious organisations strengthens student representation and makes it more inclusive.
Through V.O.S., the umbrella associations collaborate to ensure that the interests of active students are represented. Board members of each umbrella association contribute to the party’s campaign. The Political Chairs also participate in faction meetings, where they discuss current topics, share input gathered from the associations, and determine which positions and actions to take forward to the USC.
V.O.S. strives for, among other things, better accessibility to sports and cultural facilities and fair recognition for student board members. In addition, the party advocates for more flexibility in studying, so that students can better combine their studies with other responsibilities. What distinguishes V.O.S. from other student parties is that it remains closely connected to students by actively collecting feedback from members of the umbrella associations. This input forms the foundation for the positions and initiatives of V.O.S. within the University Student Council (USC) and ensures that its policies align with the real needs of active students and contribute to meaningful changes on campus.
