‘The newly appointed Board has an excellent starting point to strengthen the Aalto community, which I’m really excited about! In addition, I believe that with this group, we can bring the Board closer to our members and clarify AYY’s decision-making and the related communications, among other things. It’s great to get to work with this amazing team next year for the benefit of all Aalto students’, says Fanni Mattsson, former of the Board and Chair of the 2024 Board.
