The General Assembly of the National Union of University Students in Finland is currently in progress in Otaniemi, and the General Assembly has just elected SYL’s Board for the year 2027. One of the elected candidates is TREY’s Vice-Chair and Board member in charge of Social Affairs Rudi Valtonen!
“A huge thank you for the trust you have placed in me – both to the Council that presented me and to the entire SYL General Assembly for electing me! Thank you to everyone who has helped and supported me through the application process, as well. I am already looking forward to the coming year. Free education must be defended loudly in the parliamentary elections next year. I am ready to build a common message for the entire student movement and advocate for all students!”, states Rudi after the election.
The other candidates elected for the Board are Filip Godlewski (Student Union of the University of Jyväskylä), Emilia Melén (Åbo Akademis Studentkår), Heikki Helppi (Student Union of LUT University), Nikola Eerola (Student Union of the University of Helsinki) and Emilia Kivikoski (Student Union of the University of Eastern Finland).
Yesterday, the General Assembly elected Joona Lipponen, the Chair of the Board of Aalto University Student Union, as SYL’s President for next year.
TREY congratulates Rudi and all the other candidates elected to the Board!
