An academic home takes care of those who need care. That is why we will remain committed to accessible and holistic student support that supports both learning and life. Through Stuvo and the faculties’ student support services, we will continue to build strong and feasible support that responds to the increased diversity of our students. We will encourage closer cooperation between these local Stuvos and the study programmes, as well as with the faculties’ student societies, and we will reinforce Stuvo’s local information points and online accessibility.

Mental health must receive sufficient attention. We continue to build a solid support continuum for mental well-being: from preventive initiatives that promote social connectedness, mental resilience and a healthy lifestyle, over primary psychological support in local Stuvos to specialised psychological services. In close collaboration with the student organisations, we are also continuing to work on accessible communication about mental well-being for students.

Together, we make KU Leuven

Thank you very much for the vote of confidence you have placed in me during what has already been an intense campaign. Now we are steaming ahead to the final round of voting! Because if you really want to bring a breath of fresh air to the university, you need to know exactly what is going on, what the needs are and how we can realistically address them. In short, you need to know KU Leuven inside out so that we can move forward together and leave no one behind. That’s why I am keen to continue the dialogue with you, because yes, together, we make KU Leuven.
