– Hallituksessa tullaan miettimään paljon isoja linjoja ja valmistautumaan tulevaan vaalivuoteen. Valiokunnissa ja valtuustossa opiskelijoilla on tärkeä paikka vaikuttaa vielä tarkemmin näihin kantoihin ja näkökulmiin, Pajala jatkaa.
One of the new student representatives is the representative on TEK’s Board, Mika Pajala from Tampere.
“It’s fantastic to continue working for the union and its student members! Among the selected representatives, there are many familiar faces but also a delightful number of new ones. Congratulations to all who were selected!”
“In the board’s work, we will be considering larger strategic lines and preparing for the upcoming election year. In the committees and the Council, students play an important role in shaping these positions and perspectives,” Pajala continues.
