Environmental Committee

Being the Chair of the Environmental Committee has been fun and rewarding. You get to know new people and discuss important and current events. Environment and sustainability are important topics, especially to students, and it is important that the Student Union supports it.

One of the best things I got to do last year was to be a member of the group organizing the Sustainability holds us up, uphold sustainability project lead by the National Union of University Students in Finland. Through the projects I got to meet students from student unions all over Finland, and got to learn more about how students and student unions can influence in environmental and sustainability issues.

International Committee

I was delighted to be elected as the Chair of the International Committee in 2022. During this year, I could work in a multicultural environment, organizing events and fostering a sense of belonging of international students to the university. It not only helped me meet new people who inspired me a lot but also boosted my teamwork and communication skills.
