The Student Union of the Union of the University of Eastern Finland (ISYY) Representative Council elected a new Chair and Executive Board for the autumn 2025 in their meeting that was held 5.8.2025.
The Student Union elected Emilia Enroth as the Chair of the ISYY Executive Board. Enroth studies law at the University of Eastern Finland in Joensuu campus, and during this year has worked as a member of the ISYY Board.
The other eight elected Board Members are the Vice Chair Jaana Sivula, Antton Gustafsson, Emilia Kivikoski, Inna Siimes, Kristiina Oinonen, Lassi Valli, Nox Herranen and Piritta Pennanen.
– I am grateful for the trust shown by the Representative Council. I look forward to starting the rest of the year with the new Executive Board and to working together to develop the activities of the Student Union, comments Emilia Enroth.
The Board is responsible for the daily activities of the Student Union together with the employees in Joensuu and Kuopio campus. Each member of the Executive Board has a specific sector they work with, e.g. Academic Affairs, Communications, International Affairs and Affairs of Social Policy.
The duties of the Executive Board are e.g., student advocacy and interest advocacy, in the Student Union, at the University, campus cities and also nationally with other student unions. The newly elected Board will organise itself and review the distribution of their working sectors in their first formative meeting.
A new board was elected, as its previous Chair, Noora Saramäki, resigned from their position of trust due their graduation. According to ISYY's rules, when the chair changes, the Representative Council must also elect a new Board.
