The Insight- Oktober

Hello, dear readers!

A lot has happened this month! On October 15, our Social Committee (Sexmästeriet) hosted a pub night, visiting O'Learys and Kongen. It was a very successful event, as always, and one that the students greatly appreciated.

On October 21, we held our election meeting to elect the new board for the 2027 term. Our Chairperson, Victoria Malm, was re-elected. Karin Olsson, who is currently Vice Chairperson of the Social Committee, was elected Vice Chairperson of the Student Union. The position of Social Affairs Coordinator was left vacant, so we will be holding a by-election to fill this role.

Maja Bonnevier Wallstedt was re-elected as Chairperson of the Social Committee, and Linnea Leijon was elected Vice Chairperson. Two board members were also elected: Amanda Tejo Munoz was re-elected and will continue working with the Colours project. Elin Svensson, who is currently the Social Affairs Coordinator, was elected as a board member and will be responsible for the Introduction Week (Inspark) project.

The Student Union also hosted its first formal dinner in two years! On October 23, 100 students gathered at Stadshotellet, where we enjoyed a delicious buffet, drinks and great company. At 10:30 p.m., we headed over to Bånken to continue the evening. It was a much-appreciated and long-awaited event!

On October 27 and 28, our Chairperson, Victoria Malm, travelled to Karlstad to attend the Swedish National Union of Students (SFS) membership meeting. Topics discussed included SFS's work, artificial intelligence (AI), and a SWOT analysis of the student movement. One issue that frequently comes up at these meetings is the reduction in government funding, as this affects almost all student unions.

On October 30, the Social Committee hosted its annual Halloween party. This event was also a great success and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone!

That's all for now! Thank you for reading, and see you next month!
