NEWS
WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
UniSport has a Board with 10 members. The term of the Board is four years with the exception that student members are selected for two-year terms. The Student Union of the University of Helsinki nominates one member to the Board. The Board’s working language is Finnish.
The duties of the Board include:
- Developing UniSport’s activities as a whole with the leadership of its chairperson and in cooperation with UniSport’s director, in accordance with the universities’ goals for activities and finances, the universities’ strategic plans and the institution’s implementation plan;
- Process UnoiSport’s implementation plan including the personnel plan and the budget;

WHAT IS EXPECTED OF ME?
The student representative must be a student of the University of Helsinki registered for attendance. The student representative should have freely motivated expertise on student sports. No special skills are required – having the desire to learn and the motivation to act as a student representative is of primary importance. Thoroughly reading the meeting material before the meeting, asking for the opinions of – depending on the situation – either your fellow students or subject organisation on the issues on the meeting agenda and speaking up at the meeting itself are quite enough to be successful in the position.
