I was recently appointed to the AYY board. The student community here is wonderful, and I have already participated in volunteer work through the student union and guild for the good of this community.
‘When I began my studies in Otaniemi, I did not know anyone here. Now, I'm friends with pretty much everyone in my degree programme, and when I walk through the campus I always meet numerous acquaintances I can stop to chat with. The student community here is wonderful, and I have already participated in volunteer work through the student union and guild for the good of this community. I was recently appointed to the AYY board, so in 2016 I will take a year off from my studies so that I can participate full-time in developing the activities of the student union. We want every student to feel welcome on campus from the first day of their studies.’
