Hello! My name is Pauliina Ryökäs and I am a fourth-year Biomedicine student from Kuopio campus. I have previous experience from the representative council of ISYY, student association as well as from a campus organisation. I decided to apply for ISYY board because I wanted to represent my fellow students and advocate their interests and matters. I spend my free time especially with crafts and audiobooks, but I always have time for a good board game!

In ISYY I am responsible for affairs in social politics and employment. In social politics I want to advance student's welfare from a very broad perspective, e.g. by working to further advance equality and improve tutor training. In addition, within employment sector I would like to carry out something concrete for our entire organisation. Let's see how far we get with this! Please be in contact if you have anything in mind concerning these fields, I am always open to challenge and broaden my perspective!

Hello!

My name is Maria and I am a fourth-year student of applied physics from Kuopio. Previously you could have seen me doing my several student tutoring tasks and as a UEF Ambassador sharing the joyful news of studying. In the Executive Board I work with the themes of environment, development cooperation and communality. So, you can find me working with ISYY’s environment themes, development cooperation tasks and project work, as well as with the Bridges-project.

The best place to find me is at the Melania building at the Kuopio campus, where the study space of us physicists is located. You can always contact me or chat with me when running into me at the campus! I would love to hear your ideas and thoughts.
