As President, my mission is to make sure that the students have the best possible experience through cooperation, involvement and a student democracy full of life.
My most important task is that you, as a student, is seen and heard - so do not be afraid to reach out. I am here for you, no matter the size of your problem!
This is what I do:
As President I am responsible for the day-to-day work with ensuring student welfare, safety and student involvement. I coordinate and prioritize different tasks in the Executive Committee and the Student parliament, and I am the official face of the students. I fight to ensure the student voice through regular cooperation meetings with the University College management and SiVolda, as well as follow-up and cooperation with the student organizations and the Buddy board.
