Hi!
April 1-15, registration is open for a master's program at Chalmers. Under normal circumstances, snIT usually arranges a master meet and greet where you students get to meet representatives from different master's programs and ask the questions you want answers to. This year we will instead create different channels in the IT slack (https://slack.chalmers.it/signup) where we have placed representatives who can answer your questions. In addition to representatives from the master programs, the whole snIT will also be included in all channels if you have questions we are better suited to answer. We will keep this "master meet and greet" going all week 14, 30 March to 5 April.
The following master programs and corresponding channels are the ones that will be available.
Interaction Design #qa_mpide
Software Engineering #qa_mpsof
Data Science and AI #qa_mpdsc
Computer Systems and Networks #qa_mpcsn
Complex Adaptive Systems #qa_mpcas
Algorithms, languages and logic #qa_mpalg
If you do not want to use slack then email your questions to snit@chalmers.it then we can put them in the right channel for you and then email the answers back.
Mvh snIT
Unfortunately, due to prevailing circumstances with COVID-19, DrawIT will not hold any gamenights during study period 4. This also means that DrawIT will not participate in any gamedays during study period 4.
Hey!
I hope the remote studies are working well for you all.
Although it is convenient to be only a few meters from the refrigerator, there are some disadvantages to being at home all the time, especially that you do not get enough social interaction and start missing the friends on campus. Therefore, the division has created a discord server where you can hang out or study with other students. Go to this link to join: https://discord.gg/YMtnUB5
The union also has a small quick guide with things that are good to think about when you study from home: https://chalmersstudentkar.se/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Study-Off-Campus_v8.pdf
Have it been good we will hear on discord!
Now it's finally time for aspiration!
After considering the opinions of the interested we have decided to have a few physical events:
Join #styrit-aspning-20 on slack for more information and location to each event.
See you there!
Because of COVID-19 we have made the decision of cancelling this year's bachelor's dinner. This decision was made earlier in the week in conjunction with styrIT. We hope that the situation will have improved before next spring, and that everyone taking their bachelor's this spring will be able to come then instead.
Isolated regards,
Kandidatmiddagsgruppen
Hi everyone!
Due to the current situation, we have decided to cancel our aspiration information event. Instead we have a registration of interest here where you can fill in if you’re interested in aspiring for, or applying to styrIT. Below follows some information about styrIT, first some general information and then information regarding the individual positions in the board.
What does styrIT do?
styrIT is the board of the IT division and works with a wide range of questions, many of which may not be noticed by a lot of our division members. Partly there are things that we are required to do as defined in the division statute and ruleset, among these are to lead the function of the division, calling to division meetings each study period as well as acting as the substitute för the division meeting in its absence. Apart from this styrIT is rather open to whatever one wants to do and sometimes they have to respond to current situations. As styrIT one often gets to work a lot with the school as well as the central student union. During the year 19/20 we have worked on, apart from the operative functions, things such as getting a new division facility on the Lindholmen campus, getting a curator on campus, digitizing the accounting on the section and a lot more.
President
As president of the board, your responsibility is not only to lead the group but also to represent the division and its members. Also, together with the treasurer, you have the ultimate responsibility for the entire division's operations and finances.
Leading the group means ensuring that the other board members can work and feel well while doing so. This is often done by planning work and meetings so that everyone's opinions can emerge as well as being vigilant about what works and does not work in the group. During my year, I also held employee interviews with the others on the board to develop my leadership and ensure that everyone else on the board gets as good opportunities as possible to develop themselves.
Representing the division means that you need to be sensitive to different opinions and try to summarize them to fairly represent what the division wants in meetings with the student union and the university. At the meetings, you will have the opportunity to influence the activities of both the university and the student union. With great power comes great responsibility; what I think has been most difficult during my year as division president has been to know what the division really wants and what will be best for the division, luckily I have received a lot of help from the rest of the board with this.
By being division president, I have been able to influence and make decisions that hopefully will benefit the division many years to come. I have been able to develop my leadership and test the boundaries of my abilities. I have also been able to create great networks, and above all got to know an absolutely fantastic group of people who sat on the board with me.
If you are interested in applying, please contact me so we can talk about the questions you have and what the post would mean for you.
Treasurer
StyrIT's treasurer handles the division’s financial resources. They are also responsible for the division’s accounting system and for teaching this along with the general treasurer's work to committee treasurers. During the year they also need to support the division's committee treasurers when they come up with difficult situations regarding finances.
The treasurer also needs to keep a regular watch on the division's finances and learn the laws and regulations regarding finances in order to be helpful during board & section meetings.
In addition to this, you are also a regular board member and a large part of the time goes to doing what you want and are interested in, just like everyone else on the board.
SAMO
As SAMO in styrIT, your responsibility is to represent the student divisions opinions on work environment and psychosocial health. You will work a lot with the university to improve the work environment by going on inspection rounds, noting what is bad for the work environment, taking up suggestions for how it can be better. It also means talking to other division members to get an idea of where the problems with the premises are and how the premises could be better.
To continue with the psychosocial part, it is mostly the same as the work environment but focuses on how people feel instead. It sometimes means that you have to take difficult conversations in order to be able to refer people to where they can get support and help. It is important that in the end, the Program Manager is always ultimately responsible and not you personally! In addition to the program manager, there is also some contact with Sara Thornadtsson Chavarria, who is gender equality and equal treatment coordinator at the university.
There will be some work that is similar to snIT's work because it can often go hand in hand that a course has poor quality and therefore those who take it feel bad. So it is important to communicate with them in such situations.
Finally, you not only have your board and the university to rely on. But to carry out projects that improve the working environment and the psychosocial environment, there is also the student union where you will have a lot of contact with the Student Welfare Officer and SU, the committee for all SAMOs. SU is twice per study period and is the best forum for exchanging ideas and getting support, as many problems and projects are common for all divisions. SU has been the best part of being SAMO.
The most important thing in SAMO's work is simply to listen to division members and have a lot of empathy. So that you can make your and others' voice heard towards the university! If that sounds like something for you then we can talk more!
Vice President
As vice president of the board your choice of work is fairly free but you have two main responsibilities: you’re the entertainment manager and you’re responsible for the chair meetings throughout the year.
As the entertainment manager in charge the vice president usually handles matters regarding culture and entertainment on the student division. These vary from year to year but could for example be conducting a survey of the student culture and entertainment life on the division. And then trying to make those matters reflect what the students of the division really want like we’re doing this year (something that is long overdue).
The second part is the chair meetings. These meetings are between the chairs of the different committees and societies within the division and often deals with topics that affect larger parts of the division.
Another task is to assist the president when needed. This doesn’t necessarily have to be your job but it naturally falls on you if nothing else is said. Apart from these things the role is very free and you’ll get lots of time to work on projects in the division that are in your interest so take advantage of that!
Secretary
The secretary of the board is a, by the division ruleset, defined post in the board which is responsible for keeping records of the board meetings as well as making sure that the board and division meetings are published in a correct manner. Apart from this, it’s a rather open post that one can choose to do whatever one feels like or whatever is required at the time. During the past year (as well as some previous years) the secretary has also handled a lot of the surrounding work for the division meetings such as calling to the meeting, writing a suggestion for the agenda and nominating themself as the division meetings secretary.
Member of the board
As a member, you have no specific task. The role can thus be interpreted fairly freely, but in the past year, our members have worked to both supporting the other committé members, and also helping with tasks that do not fall into any clear category. In addition to the immediately supporting role, there is also the opportunity to take on and manage your own projects within styrIT, as you do not have a fixed role that eats all of your time. As this role changes depending on what you do with it, it is also the most flexible post in terms of time.

Hi, as you probably know, there is a lot of talk about corona right now and Chalmers, the student union and the student division are doing what we can to prevent the spread of the virus.
What you can do yourself is to maintain good hand hygiene and stay home if you have flu-like symptoms (even if they are mild).
There is also a lot of misinformation about the virus, so be critical and keep an eye on official sources such as the public health authority's website
If you suspect that you have been infected by the coronavirus, please notify the Board by email at styrit@chalmers.it (the entire board), samo@chalmers.it (Baloo only) or ordf@chalmers.it (Gurgy only) so that we can follow the spread of the virus on the student division. We will handle your mail anonymously and only use non-identifying information to prevent further spread of infection in the student division.
If you get sick, no matter what kind of illness, don't forget that there is info from Chalmers about the support you can get then. E.g. Sickness benefits from the Social Insurance Office and lower requirements from CSN if you report sickness to them.
If you feel uneasy or feel bad and need to talk to someone, Feelgood is there. Remember that everything is study-related if it affects your studies!
The university has more info on student health care.
Below you can read about what Chalmers do to prevent the spread of infection and how it affects you.
All teaching for SP4 will be remote.
The university also has an info page on covid-19 with more guidelines and information.
They also have an info page on covid-19 with updated information.
The student division will cancel larger (cross-divisional) events-
The board also recommends all events that are not essential to operations to close.
We closely monitor the development of events and will adjust decisions as needed.
The meeting approved all motions and propositions, with some changes.
The internal revision looked good, and NollKIT19 as well as MRCIT19 were responsibility exempt.
One interpellation concerning blacklists were answered by the board.
Operational plan and budgets for NollKIT, P.R.I.T. and sexIT were approved.
We had elections and the following was elected.

Hello again. Since last, we have been trying to get in touch with the property owner to investigate co-financing of the kitchen. In this process, however, we have come into contact with chalmers, who has now chosen to not allow any major renovations in the Hub (which a kitchen would mean). Their reasons are strongly linked to "finances in balance" as they believe that rebuilding can lead to higher rents / maintenance fees for them and limits the mobility of the building. Furthermore, they advise us to raise the issue again in a couple of years when things have calmed down with "finances in balance".
Since it is the area of education that is in the lease agreement, we cannot oppose their decision and will, for the time being, close down work on a new kitchen for the Hub.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact styrit@chalmers.it
We also invite you to come and talk to us about the question on Tuesday LV1 17:15 in EG-3217
Opera Gothenburg has been specializing in exploring new domains and bringing new products to market in a fast-paced iterative environment. We spent the last two years building OPay, a successful payment product for the African market that quickly became the top mobile money and ride-hailing app in Nigeria. Come join us as we build the next big thing in the European fin-tech market.

Hi!
As usual, a lot has happened since the last, but we will start with the good news.
The new student facility at Lindholmen will open in study week 1, i.e. March 23rd. It's called The CLOUD and will be equipped with brand new furniture as well as free coffee to meet the needs at Lindholmen. If you have any suggestions for the room, please feel free to contact ordf@chalmers.it. Exact location will be available on opening day.
Something that does not affect the student division, but the university and thus your studies, is Chalmers' project "economy in balance". The short version is that Chalmers needs to save a lot of money and are now looking for ways to do so. This can lead to some changes, such as a larger intake on the bachelor program next year.
At present, there is a proposal to expand the IT bachelor program so that we will have about 150 first year students next year instead of 120. Nothing has yet been decided on this proposal, but we are actively participating in the risk analysis work to ensure that the university can make an informed decision.
Last but not least, we also have some news about the kitchen in Hubben. We have now received an okey from the property owner and a quotation. Unfortunately, the cost of the new kitchen is about 1.1 million and the university can't co-finance the construction because of "economy in balance". We do therefore not feel that it is justifiable to spend so much of the section's money on a kitchen when we do not own the property and Hubben probably has to be changed in the near future to accommodate more students. However, an opportunity that remains is to co-finance with the property owner, something we are currently investigating.
That was all for this time. If you have any questions or concerns, you can, as usual, contact us at styrit@chalmers.it.
Here Is the Audit Report (in swedish) for the S.U. subdivision meeting for SP 1
