English Division Student Government Year 2024–2025
After a two-year hiatus, the English Division Student Government (EDSG) at the Medical University of Lublin made a strong return in 2024. Originally founded in 2016 under the name English Division Student Board, the organization was re-established with renewed leadership and purpose in 2024—now operating under the name EDSG.
The relaunch marked a renewed commitment to student advocacy, aiming to streamline communication between the English Division student body and the university administration. EDSG worked actively to represent students' concerns, address academic grievances, and promote transparency and collaboration between faculty and students.
Beyond administrative representation, EDSG also set out ambitious goals: to help students obtain funding for research publication, organize hands-on educational workshops, and host a diverse array of cultural, recreational, and academic events. Welcoming and guiding new students into the university community was another core focus, reinforcing a culture of inclusion and peer support.
