Cluj-Napoca, October 1, 2015 Prof. Dr. Gianina Crişan, Dean Faculty of Pharmacy 4 www.umfcluj.ro Organizaţia Studenţilor Farmacişti’s (Students of Pharmacy Organization’s) message Dear pharmacy freshmen, We wish you a warm “Welcome!” in the prestigious Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Medicine and Pharmacy “Iuliu Hatieganu” Cluj-Napoca. Also, we congratulate you for the success of promoting all the importants exams, but also for chosing this university center where you will the spend the student years. The first year of college – it’s impossible to forget. Why this? Because that is the moment when you start to discover, step by step, what it means to be a student. And not just any student, but a pharmacy one. You will discover lecture and labs, you'll meet professors, you'll handle tubes and Erlenmeyer flasks and you'll want to wear the white coat, which you will display proudly, even to the center of Cluj. You come into this different world, new and fascinating in comparision to all that you know by now, the place where you spend half a decade, along with your colleagues. Who doesn’t know that "student years are the most beautiful"? Everybody knows, but all I can say is that fortunately, we, students of pharmacy, have five years in which we can enjoy the great moments. We want to offer you some ideas and tips on how you can make this years memorable: - Look around you for models, look at your teachers as examples of good practice, find mentors to guide you; they will influence you not only profesionally, but also will leave their mark on you - Treat seriously what you learn and what you to everyday in order to become good pharmaceutical professionals; think about what new things you can bring or even improve - Take advantage of all the oportunities that the university offers: research laboratories, Erasmus scholarships, libraries, gyms and recreational spaces - Do not forget to enjoy the fact that you are students, that in this period of life do you have the opportunity to be children, to have fun, make friends, be spontaneous, to have vacations and unforgettable moments - Take advantage of Cluj and everything this city has to offer; see it as if you were tourists; Stroll through it, don’t think that soon you'll refer to it, out of habit, with "home" - Don’t neglect the cultural side of the city - go to shows, theater and opera, go to the cinema, always be attentive to the events taking place in Cluj and give yourself time to participate at them www.osfcluj.ro 5 Of course, if you return to the title of the article, you will see that it refers to the Pharmacy Students Organization - you will find in the following pages of the guide more information about us, about what we do and how you can make yourselves part of OSF. Our advice, said with conviction, it’s to not hesitate to try the experience of volunteering. So, dear freshmen pharmacists, enjoy all the moments of your student life and collect as many memories in your life album.

Appointed by Tudor Arghezi “ the professor of the Romanian medicine ”, Iuliu Haţieganu, the name the University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Cluj-Napoca bears, was the one who establised the Cluj medical higher education. He graduated the Faculty of Medicine of Cluj in 1910 and later became the assistant professor of notorious internist of that time, Zsigmound Puryesz whose follower has become in time. His outstanding merits and Puryesz’s vision helped Iuliu Haţieganu to become a professor at the University of Cluj as well as the first dean of the Faculty of Medicine from 1919 to 1920 and in the early 30s, rector of the University. Iuliu Haţieganu accorded great importance to physical education, considering it necessary in the institutions of highr education. As a result, between 1930 and 1932 in Cluj-Napoca he founded a park for sports activities for young people, the Sports Park „Iuliu Haţieganu”, on the shore of Somes River. In 1935 Professor Haţieganu wrote: „I turned out that physical education is the best method of education that synergistically contribute to steel the body and soul, character building...”. Author of several papers published in major themed journals of the time in Europe, Haţieganu remained in the memory for socalled „Elementary treaty of semiology and medical pathology”. The book in three volumes was reissued several times until today. Iuliu Haţieganu was a valuable man for his time, but also for posterity, for his role in the medical clinic and the rethoric displayed whenever the chance. It was a good speaker, an eminent professor, a teacher close to the students, a good man. Professor Iuliu Haţieganu is respected for his clinician and teaching merits, notorious scientist, master of the humanist culture- it is said that he learned from Hippocrates to love the close ones and form Pasteur the patriotic spirit. 9 www.osfcluj.ro The beginning at UMF The first step in the Hall .... the first laboratory class dressed with you labcoat which will become through the years you best friend... the first goosebump when a professor talks to you.... the first 2.30 at inorganic chemistry .... the first time when you go out with your classmates .... the first exams .... the first brokesn test tube from the many that will come ... the first multicolor finger from all the lab reactions... the first feeling you are a student ... you will go through all of these.

Stairs to 3rd and 4th floors Library Elevator Multimedia Room 21 www.osfcluj.ro Campus or off campus living One of the thoughest decisions we have to make when we become students, mostly when the faculty we have chosen takes us far from home: campus or off campus. This decision can be pretty complicated, because each of them has their advantages and disadvantages, which any student has to think about before they make the right choice! CAMPUS Socializing is the key word for the campus, because you can have 2 or 3 roommates if you will live in the H’s or the O’s, or a roommate if you wil live in the B’s. You will get to know different people and you will make a lot of friends in a very short amount of time. Moreover, your older collegues are always there when you need help or a friendly advice. In the campus you develop your selfless spirit, because sometimes you depend on your roommates and other times they have to depend on you. Also you will never be alone when you will need someone to be there for you, and the campus is the proper place to make really good friends. However, you have to be a very understanding, open-minded and tolerant person and also to be able to give up on some of your habits that might turn out to be disturbing for the others. From a financial perspective, living in the campus is very convenient, because you will not have to pay extra bills after you paid you accommodation taxes. OFF CAMPUS The off campus living during you studies is different from the campus oen because it offers you the possibility to choose both the people you will like to stay with and their number. Whether thier collegues from school or friends that study at other faculties, living off campus you will have the chance to have your own room, therefore you will have more intimacy. Another advantage is being independent at which you add the peace and quiet needed during the long hours of studying. Of course, you can keep your habits that you should give up to if you were living at the campus. From a financial perspective, the rent is more expensive at which you add the monthly bills you have to take care of. But you don’t necessarily have to see it as an disadvantage, because it helps you to become more responsible. The choice between the campus or off campus living is made according to your personality and budget, but regardless where you will live during the schoolyear, the student life gives you the opportunity to colect a lot of memorable stories and memories that you will tell to your grandchildren. 22 www.umfcluj.ro Being a representative student in UMF Every year, at the beginning, the new students have to choose a representative, a colleague that they believe is a good leader and will find a way to solve the various situations that arise during an academic year. Someone who will support their rights in front of the teacher and dean, organized and responsible, energetic and open to listen. Perhaps you think it's complicated, that it's too much trouble, but things are a little different. You walk through the amphitheater’s door and you had a strange feeling, a kind of joy for what will come next combined with a kind of excitement because everything around you is new: a lot of unknown faces, or that you faintly remember from the admission exam, the student attitude you've adopted, perhaps the city and housing. But you saw a friendly face in the crowd and whether you knew it or want to know it you're headed to the empty place next to that person. "Socialization" is the key word for the day. The first day of college in your student life There are so many things happening around you, that you don’t even figure it’s been two weeks since you starded college and it comes the time to choose a representative. Who is the capable and trustworthy person, that you can rely on? Let’s see...Maybe that during hgh school you haven’t stood aside when it came about involvement in projects. Perhaps judgement, initiative, leadership, smile and diplomacy are not some foreign features to you. Sometimes, without realizing you are a genuine leader, you organised your friends for an activity...and it even went great! Or another time when a situation needed to be resolved, in your former high school class, and someone had to speak with the tutor and calmly express your colleagues opinion...and that someone was you. Isn’t it right that you remember, with a smile, many detals of that situation? Sure you thought at least once to be leading a group. Or maybe this is the first time, but you wanna go beyond your limits. Why not be series representative, student counselor, or senator?! Basically, what do you have to do as a series representative? You have to be responsive to different situations that may occur during the year: schoalrship offers, student organization projects, announcements from departments / deanship to be transmitted. But the biggest challenge is near the exams session. The head series is the one who sets the exams. So, after you succeed in one form or another to thank your colleagues with the proposed dates, you have to negotiate with those in larger years for the auditoriums. It’s probably one of the hardest tasks of the head series. Especially since there is always discontent, but my friendly advice is to pay attention to the majority. You are 170 and 15 disagree That’s it! As long as they have no strong or logical argument, I don’t see why would you even have to bother. What should you do as a student counselor? Monthly, there is the Teaching Council meeting, where students are represented by those they choose at the beginning of the academic year. There they are presented the different projects of the university, there the students have the right to ask for something, to refer a situation, to find out news, to propose ideas or to bring solutions. There you meet teachers and of course, you have to inform your colleaggues about the decisions and changes that are taken and also to report when problems occur. 23 www.osfcluj.ro It may seem hard, but it’s not like that. It’s normal to be a little reserved at first, but an active person, with initiative, who adresses situations with diplomacy and tact, ready to answer questions, that mantains calm in tense situations, is the ideal candidate. And because these qualities need a lot of will and determination to come out, I advise you to evaluate yourself. WHAT??? ME??? YES! YOU! Because certainly you have at least some of these qualities! Moreover, it’s worth giving a try to something new or something that might seem scary at first! Do you think that the teachers will notice you? Yes, at least they will know you. Do you think you’ll have problems because you speak your mind? Be serious! As long as you talk with respect and rationally, anyone welcomes the initiative and listens. Do not think that being a head series will give you the right to walk the UMF’s halls just like on a boulevard. Firstly, you are a student and a little example for you colleagues. You don’t get to skip classes and it doesn’t grant an extra point at the exam. Sympathy from teachers you’ll find, but don’t expect any favouritisms. What you get from this whole thing is the respect of not only peers, but teachers; you’ll also get experience, new perspectives and the chance to develop. That said, we’ll see each other in the UMF. Maybe at councils or in the student organization’s projects, parties or different kinds of exchanging experiences! Best wishes, A representative student Things you must know about representation Each group of students must have a representative, who will be chosen from the peers of that group, by direct vote, open and public.

Here is a motto, that if you haven’t heard of yet, you will for sure hear it during your student life at tne Faculty of Pharmacy. Does OSF mean something to you?! Let’s find out together the meaning of these letters and their connection with the student life. OSF stand for Organizaţia Studenţilor Farmacişti (Students of Pharmacy Organisation) of Cluj-Napoca and it is a non-profit, non-governmental whose purpose beside representing the pharmacists students is organising health campaigns and projects on the assumption that it is better to prevent than to treat. The Organisation works under the supervision of the Board, consisting today in 18 members, which renews each year. The Organisation works on a voluntary basis and it is formed of first to fifth year students from the Faculty of Pharmacy, Pharmacy specialization and first to third year students from Nutrition and Dietetics specialization. What does it mean to be a OSF volunteer? Well it means to be realistic, with team spirit, optimistic, persistent, friendly, open-minded and all of these, because OSF means challenge, performance, dedication, unity, fun, adventure. The Organisation was founded in 1995. Thanks to the member’s hard work, it soon managed to found FASFR (Federaţia Asociaţiilor Studenţilor Farmacişti din România), a federation we rightfuly belong to. Soon after, OSF was one of the prestigious organisations that founded ANOSR (Alianţa Naţională a Organizaţiilor Studenţeşti din România), federation in which OSF held and is still holding positions in the Board. The organization’s representativeness is well defined among the University’s students, but also among the other NGOs, a status we managed to obtain after all the projects we held. Also in a professional perspective (because this was considered a priority), OSF was the first 36 www.umfcluj.ro Romanian organization to be accepted in IPSF (International Pharmaceutical Students’Federation) as an associate member, in 1996. Thanks to OSF, after the founding of FASFR, Romania was reresented rightfuly at international level, being among the first 10 countries that were granted full membership in IPSF within a year. The organization has a well-established role, which we respect and try to improve in each year. The help given to the students is a major one, because many do not know what the pharmacist profession is, its role or the areas of activity that they can follow. The purposes of the organization are: - training professionals in the pharmaceutical field by developing certain skills: informing, communication, responsibility; - to raise awareness that pharmacists are health promoters; - community empowerment through campaigns launched on the assumption that any change starts from someone. The organization is divided in several departments: Human Resources, Education, Health Projects, PR and IT, External Affairs, Entertainment, Social, Mobility and Fundraising. Therefore, OSF is involved in the process of accommodation in students dorms, distribution of the camp places allocated, drafting regulations of the University, organizing “Freshmen’s week”, “Balul Aspirinuţelor” (the Freshmen’s prom), and other socializing events, exchange programs both national (FASFR programs InterFarma and InterPractis) and international (through SEP- Student Exchange Prorgamme). In terms of projects and campaigns aimed to raise awareness we could name: InfoDiabet (Diabetes Awareness campaign), AntiSIDA (AIDA Awareness campaing), Sănătatea ta, mai presus de toate (Your health above all), or AntiCancer (Cancer awareness campaign), at which we add the projects held in the university, such as: Zilele UMF (The University’s days), The Christmas carols, the OSF Gala and the Graduation ceremony. Now that you have an idea about OSF, hopefully we raised your curiosity to learn more and we’re hoping that you, the freshmen, would show your ideas, courage, ambition, dedication and youthful enthusiasm and becoming volunteers and therefore members of the OSF family. 37 www.osfcluj.ro Being an OSF volunteer… Why should you become a volunteer? … because the student life looks different when you are part of a team, because you can be more than a student, you can learn new things and can overcome barriers that you didn’t think you could achieve. … because nothing compares success achieved in a group of friends and colleagues with whom you share the same passions. You will have the opportunity to grow, to help and be helped, have fun like you’ve never had before. OSF is a unique experience that forms you, it is a team that is waiting for you to complete it. … because with us your ideas can become real and thus you can leave a mark in the development of the OSF projects. How to become a volunteer? ... to get to know more about OSF, we invite you to take part in the “Freshmen Week”, an event dedicated to you, a freshly student, held by the organization in the third week of school. Also, if you want to join our team, to become an active member and to be part of our departments, we are expecting you come at the interviews so we could get to know you better and then to participate in the “Volunteers Recruiting” in November. How to become more than a volunteer? As you get to know more and more about the volunteer life in OSF and gain experience, you will definitely want to get involved more. You will have the opportunity to apply for a position in the Board or to be a member of one of the national federations that OSF belongs to. If you have questions, concerns of curiosities you can visit our Facebook page or you can contact us on our e-mail address ([email protected]). Meanwhile do not hesitate to get involved in any project that sounds interesting! We are waiting for you! 38 www.umfcluj.ro Alianţa Naţională a Organizaţiilor Studenţeşti din România National Alliance of Student Organizations in Romania (ANOSR) is the national student federation, non-governmental and non-partisan who, for over 15 years, has as main purpose the representing of the common interests of students in Romania, the defense and the promoting of their rights and obligations, and stimulating their participation in the educational and social, economic and cultural. ANOSR has roots in social movements of students in the autumn of 1995, when student leaders felt the lack of a central and effective coordination. Thus, on April 4 1999, in Timisoara, at the International Student Week, takes place the General Assembly Constituent attended by 28 student organizations from all over the country. ANOSR has acquired legal status in April 2000, by a decision of the Supreme Court of Justice, in the context of an obvious opposition from the government. Thus becomes the first national student federation from Romania. ANOSR's activity is governed by certain principles, which guides us to the student representation road. These principles are the democracy, liberty, the principle of legitimacy and representativeness, openness, transparency, non-partisanship, legality, competence, nonviolence, principle of unity and principle of continuity. ANOSR brings together students from 17 university centre across the country, from 30 universities, reaching a total of over 80 member organizations, fighting together to keep functioning the mechanism of student movement. Nationally, ANOSR is part of the Alliance for a Clean Romania and member of the Romania Youth Council, which is member in turn in the European Youth Forum and the World Assembly of Youth, which legitimizes ANOSR's international representativeness. Also the federation is legitimate representative of students from Romania at European level, being a member with full rights of ESU-European Student’s Union, the only European Structure representing students. ANOSR represents students from Romania to the Board and Council of the Romanian Agency for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ARACIS) and the National Council for Higher Education (CNFIS) and is registered in the Chamber of Deputies NGO repertory. ANOSR activity is to influence educational policy and youth in Romania, identifying and formulating the position of student studies through consultations, analysis and positions. Also ANOSR is a major actor of the Romanian civil society, being actively involved in civic topical issues in the field. The most important projects of ANOSR are: Bologna in Universities - a series of conferences to inform students of Romania on the most important tools to improve the quality of higher education that Bologna Process gives through it’s main lines of action. Bologna Professor Awards(Gala)- the only campaign in Romania, held annually promoting student-centered education by rewarding and encouraging "great teachers ' universities that are true models of professionalism and dedication . Summer University for Students - project in partnership with the National Council of Students, supports high school students through student life simulation, designed to ensure responsible and informed choices about their academic future. Among intern projects we include: Next HR, Next PR, Next FR and Next Junior projects focused on professional development in different areas of volunteers in organizations that are members of the federation. 39 www.osfcluj.ro Regional training of student representation, followed by the National Training of Student Representation designed to prepare students to represent student interests in all decisional structures of universities General Assembly and The Forum of Student Organizations in Romania (FOSR) are internal events that bring together all student organizations that are members in the federation, with the purpose of training through various trainings and establishing operational direction of ANOSR and by default, the student movement. Over time, ANOSR work, through consistency and determination, recorded as successful: the adaptation of Student State(student rights and obligations code ), the first legislative initiative owned 100% by students, making the largest national student survey ( 20,000 students in 2011 ) realization of petition record " Students for Romania's future " ( more than 10,000 signatures collected in 2013 ) facilitating first internal mobility of students from Romania and development of the first programmatic documents concerning the student movement and its role in society. as the only legitimate representative of students in Romania at European and global level, ANOSR made the first debate in Romania on Quality in Education and the Bologna Process. ANOSR has developed over its history more protests against the measures taken by policy makers in education. The latest such movements were 6 education campaign , in November 2013, when almost 10,000 students across the country protested in the streets, advocating the importance of funding education system and also the occupy movements in April 2015 when students have campaigned to obtain participation in the election of rectors at a rate of at least 25 % of the total electorate.
