The Student Union of ÅAU celebrated its 104th birthday

The Student Union of ÅAU celebrated its 104th birthday

On 18 February, on Count Per Brahe’s birthday, the Student Union and its associations gave the Count Student Union’s greetings at his statue in Åbo. The annual ball will be held on 23 September in Vasa.

Paupertas a linea – above the poverty line

In her speech, Chair of the Board Nicolina Nordman highlights the financial situation of students. On the wreath are the Latin words ”paupertas a linea” which refers to ”above the poverty line”. That is also the slogan for the National Union of University Students in Finland’s (SYL) election campaign for the parliamentary elections this year. With this gesture, the Chair of the Board Nordman wants to highlight the students’ weak situation, which in the long run leads to a reduced sense of security. An increase of 100 euros would contribute to the increased well-being of students, according to Nordman.
