Student Life
The students' movement at LUCA – Campus Lemmens regroups two main activities: the student representation (Participatiecommissie) and the student council (Cluster). The first activity consists of representing the needs and questions of all our students in several boards and meetings, like Faculty Board, Academic Board and Social Services. The second is a little less serious one and organizes parties, sports activities, cultural affairs and many more "creative acts". The representatives of Cluster can be contacted via Facebook.
