About the Student Board

The Â鶹¹ú²ú Student Board consists of elected representatives from each Â鶹¹ú²ú school. It serves a dual role by advocating for the students’ opinions, and managing projects on a global scale, while supporting the local Â鶹¹ú²ú Clubs.

The Student Board is organized in six functional areas: Marketing & Communications, Â鶹¹ú²ú Club Support, Master in International Management Affairs, Corporate & Social Partners, Responsible Leadership and Alumni Relations. Also, each member is allocated to one of the five Project Teams: Advocacy Taskforce, Global Integration, Digital Innovation, International Engagement Committee, and Diversity & Inclusion. From 2023, the Board will be chaired by the newly elected Executive Team - President, (UCD), Vice President Operations, (KOC) and Vice President Finance, (AALTO), who sets up the Board’s strategy and structure, and supervises the respective teams.
