Tom Reculé, the new president of the AGE

As with all collective presidents, the primary role is, above all, to coordinate the team—that is, the AGE executive board, which consists of 15 people. It is also important to listen to the presidents of the various assemblies (the Regional Council, the Circle Assembly, and the Project-Based Housing Assembly) and support them when they encounter difficulties. This role also includes representing the organization within the university, particularly through regular contact with the Vice-Rector for Student Affairs. The AGE president is supported by two vice presidents, which allows for the division of responsibilities: one handles the Student Council and the other handles the Activities Council. The president also helps organize major events, such as the students’ Saint Nicholas celebration, the university festival, and the freshmen’s dance.

During the 2026–2027 academic year, I want to address issues that directly affect students’ daily lives, particularly consent and respect for others at parties. Harassment liaisons have been appointed within the various student groups so that everyone knows who to turn to when needed, whether for incidents of harassment or discrimination. 

Financial insecurity among students also remains a major issue. I want to build on initiatives already in place to offer more affordable solutions to students. More broadly, the AGE must serve as a resource to help students feel comfortable on campus and direct them to the appropriate university services when they need them.

I’m convinced that I’ll learn a lot this year, especially about event planning and team management. I think this role will give me the chance to meet staff members or people I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to meet in other contexts. I think it’s very important to get involved outside of your studies, whether it’s in a club, a project-based dorm, a magazine, the Scouts, or even the AGE. These commitments let you meet new people, take a break from your studies, and experience a different kind of learning—perhaps one that’s more human. 

The AGE and various student groups offer a wide range of activities to bring the campus to life.

The project-based student housing groups organize activities to support meaningful causes and projects centered on themes such as the environment, social inclusion, sports, supporting local businesses, and the arts… 

Clubs allow you to meet people pursuing the same degree, build connections, and help each other with coursework. 

Regional groups add a cultural dimension while letting you reconnect with people from your home region and make new friends. 

As for the AGE, we organize the biggest events on campus, such as Saint Nicholas Day, the University Festival, and the Bal des Bleus… Our goal is to offer activities that complement those of other groups, always with the aim of helping students fully enjoy campus life.

Following the AGE on social media (Facebook and Instagram) also keeps you up to date on the initiatives we’re organizing for students. This year, we’ll once again be offering:

• Low-cost syllabus sales
• Distribution of tokens for the laundry facilities
• Distributions of menstrual hygiene products

We also share updates on projects from student clubs, regional groups, and student housing initiatives to highlight the full diversity of student life at UNamur.
