The University Introduces an Online Student Consultation Registration System

A new electronic system for booking student consultations has been launched at the university. It was created to make it easier and more convenient for students to quickly register for various consultations offered by the university.

Using this system, students can now register for:

  • Career consultations

  • Student well-being consultations

The system is designed to be user-friendly – it allows students to easily find the necessary information, choose a suitable time and specialist, and register for a consultation with just a few clicks. This will help students plan their appointments more efficiently and receive the support they need more quickly.

In the future, the system’s functionality will be expanded – students will be able to choose from a wider range of consultation types across the university, making it easier to access assistance in various areas, from academic to personal matters, and to conveniently schedule appointments.

How to register for a consultation?

Log in to the Student Self-Service Portal and select Registration → Consultations from the menu. Choose the desired consultation area, topic, and consultant, as well as the consultation time, then click Register. In the comment field, answer any required questions and click Register again.

Students for students: become a mentor who inspires

Vytautas Magnus University (VDU) continues to expand its student mentoring programme “Peer-to-peer”. The aim of this mentoring programme is to strengthen mutual support among students and provide assistance to students who need advice and support in dealing with various challenges in university life that cannot be directly addressed by university departments and/or with whom they do not have an adequate connection (do not know them), thus promoting a sense of community among students and the university.

How the “Peer-to-peer” mentoring programme works: a trained, more experienced student will provide support and/or assistance to a student seeking it. The programme is aimed at students facing wellbeing issues at the university. By interacting with mentors of the same age, students will feel more comfortable and able to express their concerns in an

informal setting, while mentors will be able to suggest possible solutions to the problem or refer (accompany) them to where their problem could be solved.

In order to ensure the smooth running of the programme, a team of motivated mentors who are willing to contribute to the improvement of student life at the university is being assembled.

What kind of mentors are we looking for:

  • Older than first-year students who have overcome academic or social challenges during their studies and would like to help other students feel better, more confident, and safer during their studies at the university;
  • Communicative, willing and able to share their personal experiences with other students.
  • Able to participate in the mentoring programme for the entire academic year (October 2025 – June 2026).

Mentor duties and responsibilities:

  • Listen to the student’s problem and find out as much information as possible;
  • Help and advise if you have the skills and knowledge; if not, work together to find a solution to the problem;
  • Be aware of the opportunities offered by VDU and its partners and refer (accompany) the student seeking help to where their problem can be solved;
  • Contribute to the organization and implementation of activities aimed at enhancing student well-being at the university;
  • Participate in regular meetings and discussions to find new or improve existing ways to ensure student well-being at the university.

Benefits for mentors:

  • Opportunity to help students facing challenges at the university;
  • Familiarization with the university’s structure, system, and staff;
  • Opportunity to make new friends or colleagues;
  • Gain knowledge and skills and apply them in practice in areas related to psychology, intercultural communication, management, etc.;
  • Gain foreign language practice;
  • Active students will be included in various university promotion programmes.

If you want to become a mentor and help ensure the well-being of all VDU students, fill out the registration form by October 17, 2025 (inclusive).

After the registration period ends, the programme coordinator will contact the selected candidates and invite them to motivational interviews. After that, the mentors will undergo the final selection stage – a training program, after which the final team of mentors will begin their work.

More information about the Peer-to-Peer mentoring programme and student well-being at the university can be found here.

Register Now: T4EU Strategic Policy Conference – Universities Shaping the Future through Innovation and Global Impact

Vytautas Magnus University (VMU) is pleased to invite you to register for the upcoming Strategic Policy Conference “Universities Shaping the Future: Building Resilient Societies through Innovation and Global Impact.” The conference will take place on October 21-22, 2025, at VMU in Kaunas, marking the conclusion of VMU’s presidency of the T4EU Alliance.

For almost a millennium, universities served as primary hubs for the advancement of intellectual thought and visionary leadership. Today, in the wake of escalating uncertainty and global crises, resilience has emerged as a vital societal asset and personal skill. Consequently, resilience has been chosen as the main axis of action during VMU’s presidency of the Transform4Europe (T4EU) Alliance in 2025, and will be the focal point of this conference. The European University initiative, currently uniting 65 alliances, was introduced to strengthen European higher education institutions and their role in boosting European identity, competitiveness, technological advancement, and overall societal resilience.

The main goal of the conference is to bring together not only academic leaders, experts, and students from the T4EU and other European University alliances, but also high-level European and Lithuanian political figures, global partners, and key stakeholders. Together, they will engage in discussions on resilience from multiple perspectives, including the global and European transformation of democracies, societies, and technologies. Drawing on the expertise and insights generated during the conference, a Policy Paper on Resilience Competency will be finalized and shared.

The conference will delve into a range of topics related to resilience, including Europe’s resilience in a shifting global order, the role of universities as stabilizing forces in democracies and conflict-affected societies, individual resilience in an unpredictable world, the importance of innovation and talent for Europe’s strategic future, and higher education’s contribution to societal renewal.

The conference program will be announced soon.
