Dean-team elections
Last Thursday, September 21st, took place in Pedralbes Residence Hall the elections for the 2017-18 dean-team . On one hand, there was the candidacy of Gabriel Cànaves with Raimundo Clar, Rubén Zúñiga and Arturo Rivas and, on the other hand, that of Miguel Trías with Joaquim Llopart, Miquel Nafría, Joan Marquès, and Martí Grau. The voting was very adjusted, and finally won by two votes the candidacy of Gabriel. We have been able to interview the new dean and this is what he has pointed out.
How did the initiative for this candidacy arise?
It all started at the end of last year. We made an assessment of how the dean-team had gone, we saw that it could be improved, and we wanted to form a candidacy to comply with the initiatives that had been pending.
What proposal do you offer?
We want the resident to feel he participates in all the activities of the Residence Hall and participates in the coexistence with the other residents. For us, the dean-team is a means to promote. The dean-team is us and all the residents.
Make an assessment of this year’s elections.
I would emphasize that the elections were very democratic and there was great sportsmanship. I want to congratulate the other candidate, and say that we extend our hand to any proposal; it will be well received.
What do you think it makes you a good dean?
Well … One does not know if he will be a good dean until he exercises as such and fulfills his tasks. I want those who decide this to be the residents at the end of the course, assessing the whole year.
