Most students appreciate a cheap drink and a place to hook up with new friends. But is it the university\u2019s job to promote this? Yes, says Robin Stegemann, a student from Germany. As the founder of the non-profit organization PulsEvents, he is not only fighting for his right to party but for the University\u2019s official support.<\/p>\n

This year, PulsEvents organises a ‘Welcome Tour Fall 2011’ for all internationals in Copenhagen<\/a> and a number of activities during the semester such as treasure hunts, sightseeing tours, sport trips, games, and parties. In addition, PulsEvents works as a platform for flatsharing.<\/p>\n

Last week, Robin Stegemann contacted University of Copenhagen\u2019s International Office to ask them help spread the word about PulsEvents. To his regret, they declined. <\/p>\n

No flyers in our office, please<\/h2>\n

In an e-mail to the International Office, Robin Stegemann requested to present PulsEvents at the information session for new students, as he is doing it at other universities such as CBS and RUC. He also proposed a future collaboration between PulsEvents and the University of Copenhagen.<\/p>\n

\u00bbWe were shocked when we read their answer,\u00ab Robin says. The International Office replied that they could not help with the promotion of PulsEvents and asked Robin and his team not to leave their promotional flyers at the office.<\/p>\n

\u00bbThis request, not putting any flyers on open spots is completely out of order,\u00ab Robin says. \u00bbIsn’t that what the university is supposed to be about? Students reaching out to other students? Free speech and free opinion?\u00ab<\/p>\n

No need for the university to promote partying<\/h2>\n

The International Office can\u2019t see the problem. Senior Advisor Trine Sand explains to the University Post that they only promote events that are relevant in a university context. \u00bbWe try not to spam the students, they already receives loads of information when they arrive,\u00ab she adds.<\/p>\n

The International Office has no interest in promoting University of Copenhagen as a party university, Trine Sand explains. \u00bbWe chose not to start a collaboration with PulsEvents because we don\u2019t think the students need help finding their way to the parties,\u00ab she says. <\/p>\n

She also points out that it is unfortunate if international students feel pressure to participate in parties that often involve heavy drinking. \u00bbIt is OK to party but it\u2019s not our job to promote it,\u00ab she says. <\/p>\n

Student network ESN, one of PulsEvents’ collaborators, has previously been criticised for indirectly promoting binge drinking<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Student support<\/h2>\n

Robin Stegemann of PulsEvents feels that the University is not recognizing the value of his work and the variety of PulsEvents’ activities: \u00bbI have the feeling that the University of Copenhagen doesn’t really believe in what I stand for, or what my team is doing for international students.\u00ab<\/p>\n

The University of Copenhagen is the only one of Copenhagen\u2019s educational institutions that are not supporting the activities of PulsEvents, he says. But he refuses to let this bring him down:<\/p>\n

\u00bbStudents appreciate our work. We will continue doing it because we want to improve something here in Copenhagen. All other universities are supporting us and that is enough for us,\u00ab Robin says.<\/p>\n
