Elected representatives who carry the cohort's voice
Every cohort elects its own representatives. They carry collective requests, sit at the semester checkpoints and hold a direct channel to the academic lead, with a written answer to every submission they file.
What a representative does
The mandate is short and precise: carry what concerns the whole cohort, and report back what comes of it. Individual requests keep their own route, which leaves the representative time to handle collective matters.
- Gather the requests that concern the whole cohort
- Take them to the academic lead through an identified channel
- Sit at the semester checkpoints
- Report the written answer back to the cohort
- Propose topics for upcoming live sessions
How the election runs
- 01
Call for candidates
Open to the whole cohort from the first weeks, with no condition of seniority or results.
- 02
Candidate statement
Ten lines published in the cohort space: what the candidate intends to carry, and what they commit to report back.
- 03
Online vote
Open for several days, reachable from a phone. The result is published to the cohort as soon as voting closes.
- 04
One-semester mandate
Renewable once. A short mandate lets several people hold the role over the span of a programme.
The escalation channel, and its timeframes
A representative's submission follows the same timeframe commitments as any written request to the institute. The difference is its object: it carries a collective request, therefore an answer that holds for the whole cohort.

With the name of the person handling it.
Reasoned in every case, and published to the cohort.
One per semester, with representatives at the table.
What the cohort obtains this way
A request carried collectively is handled once and for all, and its answer is published to the whole cohort: adjusting a session slot, opening a live topic, clarifying a mark-scheme expectation, releasing an additional resource. It is the fastest route for anything affecting more than one person, and it keeps the individual route free for what is yours alone.
