Vision
Stimulate personal growth and ambition through student guidance
Currently, the student guidance is primarily focused on the study of students. Since DAS believes studying involves more than just following courses, we also want student guidance that reflects this more. DAS wants to broaden and improve the student guidance, to focus more on personal growth and ambition of students. In this way, students are more aware of all the activities, student teams and associations in which they can participate to develop more on a personal level. In addition to that, student guidance is important to support students in thinking about their ambitions for the future, such that they know what they want to achieve in their student years and afterwards.
