What is the goal of MECOM?
It is our foremost goal to get the students interested in the different parts of the University, to promote interaction between them and Department and Faculty members, and thereby getting them more involved in every facet of the learning facilities. Furthermore, MECOM also informs the students on the latest rules and decisions introduced by the University and by the Department, as well as on current events, and keeps them up to date on what is happening around the campus. MECOM wants all students to feel welcome from their very first day on the campus and wants to help them with their questions and problems related to their studies, in order to ease their way into student life. MECOM also organizes many interesting events, worthwhile projects and even parties (yes! you read it right!) to make your days interesting outside the classrooms.
