At the end of September, the Collegiate Bodies for the Business Administration and Hospital Management programs were formed at Fapuga. Under a body required by MEC (Brazil’s Ministry of Education), this body is fundamental to the institution, since it is responsible for carrying out teaching, research and outreach policies.
The Collegiate Bodies are made up of two professors, two students and the coordinator of each program. These students represent all the other students of the institution, and the project works as a way of involving them in the decisions and changes of the program.
See How the Collegiate Bodies Are Made Up

Reinaldo, one of the student members of the Business Administration Collegiate, talks about the importance of being part of this body and contributing to the evolution of his program.
“Within a college there are different collegiate bodies, and they are extremely important to their respective programs. It allows student participation since it is a deliberative body; moreover, it is in the program collegiate that we can assist in managing the educational institution, review what is not working and improve what already works, and identify weak points and propose improvements and corrections that contribute to the continuous evolution of the college,” says the second-year Business Administration student.
Structuring Faculty Committee
The NDE (Structuring Faculty Committee) is an advisory body that monitors the development of the program and serves as support for the students in the Collegiate Bodies, in addition to structuring each program’s Pedagogical Project. In fact, the professors who make up the Committee are nominated by the Collegiate students.
The professors nominated to form the NDE are: Zulmira Ferreira Silva, Rogério de Alencar Costa, Thais Adriana do Carmo, Fabio Pegorari and Candice Ermel.
Both the Collegiate Bodies and the NDE hold monthly meetings to discuss improvements and changes for the programs.
