Hello! I am Ville-Pekka Timonen, but often known just by “VP”. I just started studying psychology for the first year although I also have earlier studies from chemistry. I have been active in ISYY since 2021 as a member of the Representative Council and member of the Executive Board 2022. As the Chair of the Rep. Council I am in charge of its meetings and other activities. You may spot me often around Carelia so feel welcome to say hi!

Hi! I’m Janina Gunnar, a fourth-year medical student and a PhD researcher in neurology within the clinical research programme. In 2023, I served on the ISYY board, and last year, I was the chair of one of the representative groups. It’s great to continue into the third year in this role. Feel free to reach out to me about anything – I’d love to connect and get to know you!

Maija Kuivalainen

Joensuu

Hi, I'm Maija Kuivalainen, a fifth-year environmental policy student from Joensuu, a proud Tombolo ry. member. I have been involved in ISYY's activities since 2021 as a representative council member, and this year it is an honor to be responsible for the activities of the representative council with colleagues and our lovely staff. So let's get in touch — you can probably find me at the student restaurant Carelia and I can also be reached by email. Let's make the student union better together!
