Howdy! I'm Kais, a Computer Science student studying my n-th year in Kuopio. Now it is my second year at the Executive Board of ISYY and this time around my responsibilities are in communications. I've been part of e.g. student association activities and other voluntary work.
On my freetime I mostly just play all kinds of games from card games to computer games and also I'm into many other nerdy activities. I try my best to graduate so you won't see me as often at random events. And anyways I like to study from home but if you see me somewhere feel free to say hi or just to contact me if there's anything you would like to talk about!

Hi! My name is Mirka and I’m studying my fourth year of Social Work at the University of Eastern Finland, and I’m currently doing my master’s degree. I’m from North Karelia, and I studied in high school there, so it’s still close to my heart as an old home.
This year my tasks as part of the Executive Board of ISYY are around social policies and working life. I have been part of the Representative Council since 2021 and I’m excited to be able to work and learn in the Executive Board.
You can most often see me in Snellmania either in the library or the café, and I also do sports with Sykettä, when my motivation and use of time meet in appropriate measures. Sometimes, especially during the holidays you can also see me in Joensuu campus library or canteen. Please, feel free to come and say hi or ask any questions if you see me around!
