No Weekly Feed on week 42 (17.10.)

Please notice, that we wont be publishing ISYY's newsletters on week 42 (Tuesday 17.10.) because of the autumn holidays. Weekly Feed will be published in October: 10.10., 24.10 and 31.10. If you want to send us materials before the autumn holiday break, please do that by 6 October.

Is it difficult to understand what the ISYY Council does?

To put it simply, the Student Union could be seen as a nation where students are its citizens. The citizens (students) elect the Parliament (Representative Council), who then elect the Committees and the Government (Executive Board).

By participating in the Representative Council elections, you can best influence the most important matters during your life as a student and take part in decision-making. Don’t miss your chance, become a candidate even if you don’t have any previous experience, and vote for a candidate who best represents the matters important to you.

Nomination of candidates will end this week on Thursday 5 October at 3 pm!

How to become a candidate or create a candidate list? Read the instructions here: For Candidates. All the forms that you'll need can be found here: Election Documents. Do you want to contact a list that is already informed to ISYY? Check the contact information here: Representatives for Candidate Lists.

This autumns Association Days will be held 10.-11.10. from 10 am to 2 pm in Joensuu, Carelia Lobby, and 11.10. from 10 am to 2 pm in Kuopio, Snellmania Lobby. The event in Joensuu lasts two days because of the bigger amount of student associations.
