The Student Union of ÅAU celebrated its 103rd birthday

The annuall ball of the Student Union of ÅAU will be held in online and hopefully in the autumn 2022 we will have the opporturnity to finally organise a big annuall ball where we can celebrate together! On 18 February, on Count Per Brahe’s birthday, the Student Union’s Chair of the Board Veera Granroth and Secretary General Jasmin Öberg gave the Count Student Union’s greetings at his statue in Åbo.

Non scholae, sed vitae discimus – ”We do not learn for school, but for life”

In her speech to Per Brahe, the Chair of the Board Granroth talked about the student life and traditions which the new students haven’t been able to experience in two years. She concluded her speech by thanking the student associations who have done their best in trying to keep the student life and traditions alive with their creativeness in organising events.
