Activism monitor 2009
In 2009 the Activism Monitor was held for the second time.
Fun and enthusiasm are the most important reasons for students to be active. Other important reasons to become active are personal development, being involved with the organization, building-up social contacts and improving your CV. The majority of active students see various advantages of being active, such as improved chances on the business market and gaining experience and skills.
Students preferably are approached personally for a committee or a board, which shows that appreciation of qualities is a high priority for activism.
