Katarina Čufar, Boštjan Lesar
Člani ALUMNI kluba Oddelka za lesarstvo Bio- tehniške fakultete Univerze v Ljubljani (OL BF UL) so se 26. 11. 2020 zbrali na tradicionalnem 13.
srečanju. V okoliščinah pandemije covid 19 je bilo to hkrati tudi prvo srečanje alumnov, ki je poteka- lo preko spleta. Srečanja se je udeležilo več kot 45 udeleženk in udeležencev vseh generacij. Program je vseboval formalni del s kratkimi predstavitvami in neformalno spletno druženje.
Udeleženci so v okviru konferenčnega dela poročali o novostih in dogajanjih v zadnjem letu. Katarina Čufar in Boštjan Lesar sta kot vodji predstavila živahno dejavnost alumnov v okviru Univerze v Ljubljani, ki ima profesionalno plat- formo https://alumniul.online/, preko katere se v klub lahko včlanijo vsi, ki so zaključili študij na Univerzi v Ljubljani. Organiziran je v sekcije, naša se imenuje »BF - Klub alumnov lesarstva« in ga podpira ter dopolnjuje sekcija ALUMNI klub Od- delka za lesarstvo v okviru Društva lesarjev Slo- venije (DSL).
Vodenje DSL je v letu 2020 prevzel mag. Tomaž Kušar, zaposlen na Oddelku za lesarstvo, ki je na srečanju predstavil živahno delovanje društva.
Novosti na Oddelku za lesarstvo je predstavil prof. dr. Marko Petrič, novi prodekan za področje lesarstva za obdobje od 1. 10. 2020 do 30. 9. 2022.
Marka Petriča naši alumni poznajo kot odličnega profesorja in znanstvenika, ki je bil v obdobju 1. 10.
2002 – 30. 9. 2004 namestnik prodekana, v obdob- ju od 1. 10. 2004 do 30. 9. 2010 pa kar tri mandate prodekan za področje lesarstva.
Na srečanju se je predstavila tudi generacija 1985 – 1990, ki letos praznuje 30. obletnico di- plome. Z besedo jo je orisala mag. Majda Kanop, ravnateljica Srednje lesarske šole Ljubljana, kjer so vzgojili številne alumne, ki so uspešno nada- ljevali in zaključili študij na naši fakulteti. V letu 1985 se je na univerzitetni študij lesarstva vpi- salo okoli 60 študentk in študentov, do zaključka pa jih je prišlo 27. Danes jih 13 deluje v lesarski panogi, 3 v šolstvu, 11 pa na drugih področjih (inšpektorat, turizem, ministrstvo, občina, privat
…). Generacija je ostala povezana in se srečuje skoraj vsako leto, vsakič v drugi regiji. Tudi nji- hovo srečanje so v letu 2020 zaradi pandemije organizirali preko ZOOMa.
Alumen Robert Gomišček je predstavil novo kolekcijo YPSI chair, inovativnih in lepih izdelkov podjetja Linea r d.o.o., od ideje do trenutka, ko so pripravljeni za predstavitev na trgu.
V neformalnem delu je potekalo srečanje inte- resnih skupin po ločenih virtualnih prostorih. Ude- leženci so bili najprej razdeljeni v skupine po izbrani povezovalni lastnosti, nato pa so med skupinami lahko prehajali. V majhnih skupinah so se razvile živahne razprave o preteklosti, sedanjosti in pri- hodnosti alumnov in stroke, izzivih študija in dela v razmerah pandemije, poslov in osebnih stikov. S pogovori smo osvežili stike, kar ohranja skupnost živo in aktivno. Druženje po skupinah je pokazalo, da je tudi video srečanje lahko zanimivo.
Srečanje so organizirale sodelavke in sodelavci Oddelka za lesarstvo (OL) v sodelovanju z Društvom lesarjev Slovenije, kamor je včlanjena večina alu- men in alumnov. Poleg zgoraj omenjenih se pose- bej zahvaljujemo dr. Mateju Joštu in dr. Jožetu Kro- pivšku za odlično načrtovanje, izvedbo in tehnično podporo video konference. Hvala tudi dr. Davorju Kržišniku za neutrudno podporo v vseh fazah orga- nizacije in izvedbe srečanja ter seveda vsem udele- ženkam in udeležencem, ki so z dobro voljo pripo- mogli, da je srečanje uspelo.

Alumni of the Department of Wood Science and Technology of the Biotechnical Faculty, Univer- sity of Ljubljana (OL BF UL) gathered on November 26, 2020 at the 13th traditional annual meeting.
This was also the first online alumni meeting, due to the pandemic. The meeting was attended by more than 45 participants of all generations. The program included a formal part, with short pres- entations, as well as an informal part.
The participants reported on the most impor- tant news. Katarina Čufar and Boštjan Lesar, the leaders of the alumni, presented the lively activi- ties of the club within the University of Ljubljana, which has a professional platform https://alumniul.
online/ through which all those who have complet- ed their studies at the University can join. It is or- ganized into sections, and ours is called “BF - Klub alumnov lesarstva“, and is supported and supple- mented by the ALUMNI club section of the profes- sional association “Društvo lesarjev Slovenije” (DSL) http://www.ditles.si/. In 2020, the management of DSL was taken over by Mag. Tomaž Kušar, a staff member of the Department of Wood Science, who presented details of the activities of the association.
New developments at the Department of Wood Science were presented by Prof. Dr. Marko Petrič, the current vice-dean elected for the pe- riod 1.10.2020 to 30.9.2022. Many alumni know Marko Petrič as an excellent professor and scien- tist, who also led the department in the period 1.10.2004 - 30.9.2010.
The alumni of the generation 1985-1990, cel- ebrating the 30th anniversary of graduation, were presented by Mag. Majda Kanop, the principal of the Secondary Carpenter School in Ljubljana, who helped educate many alumni who successfully con- tinued and completed their studies at the OL BF.
She reminded us that in 1985 about 60 students enrolled in the university study of Wood Science and Technology, and 27 of them successfully grad- uated. Today, 13 of them work in the Wood Science and Technology sector, three in education, and 11
in other fields (inspectorates, tourism, ministries, municipalities, and private enterprises). The gen- eration has remained connected and meets almost every year, each time in a different region of Slove- nia, although their 2020 meeting was also organ- ized as a video conference.
Robert Gomišček presented the Ypsi chair from the Linea-R d.o.o. He also introduced a collection of innovative and aesthetic products, taking us from the initial idea to the final product ready for pres- entation on the market.
The informal part was a meeting of stakehold- ers in virtual breakout rooms. The participants were first divided into groups, but afterwards they could move between them. These small groups provided an environment for lively discussions about the past, present, and future of alumni, and of Wood Science and Technology, the challenges of studying, teaching and business during the pan- demic, as well as other issues. We thus refreshed many of our personal links, which help to keep the community alive and active.
Virtual socializing in groups showed that even video meetings can be interesting. The event was organized by the staff of the Department of Wood Science and Technology in cooperation with “Društ- vo lesarjev Slovenije”. In addition to the above-men- tioned colleagues, we especially thank Dr. Matej Jošt and Dr. Jože Kropivšek for their excellent tech- nical support of the video conference. Thanks also to Dr. Davor Kržišnik for his tireless support in all phases of the organization and implementation, and of course to all participants in the meeting. We thank the professional advisors Dr. Tanja Potočnik Mesarić from the Biotechnical Faculty (BF), as well as Barbara Baraga and Tina Malenšek Kojić from the University of Ljubljana for their constant sup- port with the activities of alumni club.
We all hope to meet again live very soon.
