Student Life
2026–2027 Editorial by the Assistant Student Director, Émilie Massebeuf.
Student Vice Director of the STAPS Department
As we begin this new academic year, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the faculty and administrative staff of the UFR STAPS for their daily dedication and their support of both student organizations and students.
The STAPS Department boasts a particularly rich and dynamic student life, driven by numerous student organizations that actively contribute to campus activities, student solidarity, and the improvement of living conditions for everyone. This dynamic is based on a collaborative effort among the student organizations, student representatives, ANEJAPS, the entire student body, and the administration.
As Student Vice Director, my role is to serve as a liaison between these various stakeholders in order to convey students’ needs, concerns, and initiatives, while supporting projects that contribute to the reputation and sense of community within our department.
Throughout the year, you can also take advantage of the various services available to support your academic success and well-being. Among these, for example, the e-library located in the lobby of the administration building serves as a space for resources and interaction that is accessible to all students.
I am convinced that the quality of university life is built on dialogue, active listening, respect, and the commitment of each and every one of us. That is why I encourage you to get involved in the life of our faculty, to share your ideas, and to participate in the projects that are important to you.
Together, we can continue to build an academic community that is ever more dynamic, inclusive, and supportive, dedicated to the success of all our students, whether they are enrolled in a bachelor’s degree program, a DEUST program, a professional bachelor’s degree program, a master’s degree program, or a doctoral program.
My teams and I will remain at your disposal throughout the year, and we look forward to working alongside you to make the UFR STAPS a place of exchange, personal growth, and academic success for everyone.
