The student union is more than just the staff or the Executive Board of the organisation: all of us 18,000 university students in Tampere form TREY. The status, well-being and sense of community of students are in the centre of all that we do. Everyone can take part in activities from different points of view, read more of opportunities below!
Working groups and volunteers
The lowest threshold to participate in the activities of the student union is to volunteer or participate in the activities of the working groups! The student union has several working groups, which you can read more about on the Working groups and volunteers -subpage. As a volunteer, you can participate in organizing events and realizing successful experiences for all students. Get involved, for example, as an assistant at events or apply for the event division Kollektiivi, which organizes student union events throughout the year!
Student representatives
The student union has several representatives in various working groups of the university and the interest groups. Student representatives in the university administration are known as hallopeds, which is formed from the words “hallinnon” (= of the administration) and “opiskelijaedustaja” (= student representative). New student representatives are selected through open calls on a yearly basis. Read more about being and becoming a student representative on its own subpage.
