In its meeting on September 25, 2024, the Council of Representatives of the Student Union of the University of Lapland elected Esa-Pekka Tuppi as the new Secretary General of the Student Union, following Miikka Ker\u00e4nen’s transition to new duties. Tuppi, 29, is studying graphic design at the University of Lapland. He will assume the role of Secretary General after serving as LYY’s Community Specialist. He also has a background in various student and hobby organizations, having held several positions of trust. Tuppi served as Chair of the LYY Board in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There were a total of five applicants for the position of Secretary General.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am truly grateful to be able to continue working for our beloved community in this new role,\u201d Tuppi says. \u201cOne constant in student union work is change. There will be much to learn, and I am eager to take on the challenges. It\u2019s important that our smaller-than-average university has a close-knit, aware, and active student community. It\u2019s a pleasure to work for that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Secretary General is responsible for managing LYY\u2019s finances and administrative matters, as well as serving as the supervisor of the Student Union\u2019s paid staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI wish the new Secretary General all the best and look forward to our upcoming collaboration in leading the Student Union. Esa-Pekka is no stranger to our office, and I believe he will quickly adapt to his new role,\u201d commented the Chair of the Board Roope Rantala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
