The Center for Information and Counseling Services (CIPS) is celebrating twenty years of operation at CTU. It was founded by students themselves and has gradually become a leader among university counseling centers in the Czech Republic. In total, around four thousand students use its services. The current leadership of CTU in Prague aims to build on the original idea of significant student involvement in activities that contribute to the mental and physical well-being of its members. It is for this very reason that it has initiated a new collaboration with representatives of student organizations.

“I am very pleased that Karel D. Kopecký, President of the CTU Student Union, and I agree on the need to provide students at the Czech Technical University in Prague with the widest possible range of extracurricular activities that are important for personal development. Whether these are, for example, yoga classes or art and music workshops,” says Anna Kučerová, Vice Rector for Studies and Education at CTU. 

“In my opinion, CIPS provides services that are extremely valuable to CTU students. University studies are not just about the course material, but also about personal and professional development. That is why I am very pleased that the Vice-Rector approached the CTU Student Union with this offer of cooperation. Supporting the personal and professional growth of CTU students is, in fact, one of the main missions of our student organization. “I believe that by joining forces, we will be able to improve these services even further compared to the past,” predicts Karl D. Kopecký, President of the CTU Student Union.  

At this time, both parties are finalizing the format in which the specific collaboration between university leadership and students will take place. The goal is to ensure, as soon as possible, a sufficient selection of activities, which have experienced a slight slowdown in recent weeks due to the revision of the existing system. The scope of counseling services at CTU—whether psychological, social-legal, or other—remains unchanged.
