AYY nominates Nette Rimpioja for Vice Chair of the Finnish Student Sports Federation
Nette Rimpioja is a second-year business student at Aalto University. This year, she has served as Chair of the Advocacy Committee under AYY’s Representative Council. She has previously held management positions in various youth organisations, including chairing the Union of Local Youth Councils in Finland in 2022–23 and the Youth League of the Finnish Norden Association this year.
‘Investing in student wellbeing is especially important in today’s world. An influential student sports movement benefits all higher education students’, comments Rimpioja.
Alongside a vital organisation, Rimpioja wants to emphasise the significance of regular exercise in student life: ‘I want to help build a sports-positive student culture where the importance of daily and incidental exercise is widely understood. All students should have the opportunity to experience the joy of exercise as part of their daily lives and to feel healthier.’
OLL will elect its Board for the year of 2025 at its general assembly in Vantaa on 20–21 Nov 2024. OLL is an advocacy and service organisation that represents all Finnish higher education students in both national and international fields. The primary goal of OLL is for students to engage in sufficient physical exercise for their health and for higher education sports services to be at an adequate level.
‘I’m grateful to AYY for the support I have received, and I’m motivated to advocate for student wellbeing’, Rimpioja reflects on her appointment.
