Álvaro Lanza, Ignacio Migoya, Luis Mancisidor and Iñigo Rodríguez (prom. 65) tell us about their experience as delegates at Deusto Business School in their first year at university. An example of servant leadership Congratulations to the four former students in this new stage!
Álvaro Lanza, delegate of the first year of ADE + Law, student of Deusto Business School and member of the governing council of the Faculty of Law.
Although the position of delegate may at first be seen as a heavy burden that no one wants to carry, the reality is that it is an attractive task once you start working as a delegate, and one that is a real source of satisfaction. I believe that you want to be a delegate when what you are really looking for is to helping peopleAnd there is no better position than that of the class representative for this. Working for and for the classroom is something that your colleagues thank you for every day and that encourages you to keep at it and to improve. You become a bridge of communication between teachers and pupils, you are the spokesperson of the class, you have to be able to convey the message of 45 people by yourself, but leaving aside the personal self. This quality is really useful and necessary when working in a group. Moreover, it is something you will have to do in the future and, if you think about it, it will be a long time before you are in charge of such a large group of people again. The task of organising and managing all the class activities represents what your life in the company will be like. Why not train for it? Also, the position of class representative has many functions, such as talks with teachers, delegate meetings, training courses, elections of faculty representative bodies and faculty senates, among many others. But if what really drives you is the desire to join your colleagues and form a single united group, it's worth taking up the challenge.
Ignacio Migoya, delegate of 1st year of ADE + Management in Digital Environments.
The truth is that it was unexpected, I never thought I was going to be a delegate but after my experience as a captain in Gaztelueta I saw it as an opportunity to participate more in the university and to be able to relate more with people.
Luis Mancisidor, delegate of the 1st year of ADE + Engineering in Industrial Technologies.
My role as a delegate is to act as an intermediary between teachers and students, either in group decision making or if a problem arises. Although this role can be a burden at times, I see it as a positive thing because of the challenge it presents and the gratitude shown by my colleagues.
Íñigo Rodríguez, delegate of 1st year of ADE + Financial Analyst Basics
I was elected as a delegate because I was seen to be helping my classmates in class, but I also wanted to run for office. Being a delegate is giving me the ability to listen to the different problems people have and make decisions even if I personally don't agree with them. I like being able to represent the interests of my classmates and I am learning a lot about leadership and responsibility.
