Join the Aallonhuiput 2019 board
Dear Aallonhuiput Members,
On Friday, November 30, 2018, the Aallonhuiput association will elect, in its Annual Meeting, a new board for 2019 (as well as have a Little Christmas Party afterwards). See the Facebook event for more information: https://www.facebook.com/events/302966027220023/
One of the main items on the Annual Meeting agenda is the election of a new board for 2019. Getting involved is now especially important because Aalto University will determine in 2019 its strategy for 2020-2030. Here, the input of doctoral students is of utmost importance.
Please consider running for one of the positions in the board! Being on the Aallonhuiput board is a great way to contribute to the community at Aalto, as it gives you the opportunity to represent, have an impact, organize, and improve the life of doctoral students.
Below are descriptions of typical board positions. If you are interested in getting involved, please make sure to come to the Annual Meeting and nominate yourself for the election.
