New and also more familiar faces at the ISYY office

At the end of 2023 ISYY had two open positions: Service Planner (Joensuu) and Community Coordinator. Niklas Leinonen was elected for the position of Service Planner. Niklas has worked as a substitute for the same position during previous years. For the position of the Community Coordinator, Eveliina Scharin was elected. Eveliina will also work mainly from Joensuu office.

The Community Coordinator is a new position in ISYY. The Coordinator was hired to coordinate our Studen Union's traditional events but also to continue the good work towards the community spirit amongst UEF students that was started with the BRIDGES project, which ended in December 2023. For example, the famous Sober Disco will be one of the projects this year.
