Helsingin yliopiston ylioppilaskuntaExecutive Board Member
Jan. 2014 - Dec. 2014HelsinkiAt the Student Union I was responsible for the educational policy for the 28,000 students at the University of Helsinki. I was an active participant in policy discussions at the University, as well as on the national level. My work included, among other things, preparing statements on legislative proposals together with our policy experts, and independently of them. I also coordinated the actions of our 11 faculty organizations and their advocacy work. My main areas of focus concerned proposed changes to the university charter, the university audit, analyzing the national Bachelors' survey, and the national student intake reform. Working at the Student Union I learned a great deal about project management, communication, teamwork, working in politics, and networking. It was an experience I will cherish for a long time.
