What is the StuPa?
The Student Parliament (StuPa) is the highest panel of the student representation, the decision-making institute of the student body. It decides on all fundamental matters.
As the name suggests, the StuPa represents your interests! Therefore, you can always contact the StuPa, which will gladly take care of your problem, your question or your idea. The StuPa consists of 7 to 15 members and is elected annually in the winter semester. During the semesters, the StuPa meets regularly to listen to and discuss your concerns and those of your fellow students in order to implement or forward them.
The tasks of the StuPa are determined by the regulations of the Hessian Higher Education Act as well as by the statutes of the student body.
These are the tasks of the StuPa:
- Enacting, amending and repealing the statutes and regulations of the student body
- Enacting and reviewing the AStA (General Student Committee; see Audit Committee)
- Deciding on the use of the student body's financial resources and adopting the budget
- Determining the amount of the student body's contributions
- Determine the purpose of use of surpluses from the annual financial statement
- Discussing and approving/rejecting budget requests from students
- Establishment of other committees and election and deselection of their members
- Organizing its own elections (see Election Committee)
- Proposal of student representatives for the administrative board of the Student Union
- Promoting political and civic understanding among students by creating opportunities for them to become involved in university politics and to learn about and exercise their own democratic rights
- To ensure that university life is free from discrimination and racism

The Addiction Prevention Committee has taken on the task of amplifying the variety of anti-addiction services available through Geisenheim University, as well as removing any obstacles standing in the way of students seeking to utilize said services. We advocate for resources including but not limited to additional informational sessions on the topic of addiction, and work in tandem with representatives of the university. In doing so, we hope to shed light on the many faces addiction can take, and to sensitize ourselves to better recognize addictive behaviors.
