The Student Union of the University of Lapland celebrated it’s 43rd year at October. At the Annual Ball the University of Lapland donated 10 000 € for the activities supporting students’ wellness.
– I withdraw the amount from the budget allocated to the rector’s work. As far as possible, each of us should prioritize resources for the wellness and community of the members of our university community. The resource can be for example knowledge, time or money, says the Rector of the University Antti Syväjärvi.
The donation is one way to promote wellness. The sum is for students to implement their own wellness activities and ideas.
– The news of the donation was a wonderful birthday present for LYY, and we are grateful for it. The donation shows importance to the matter and brings concreteness to the will to invest in wellness. We look forward to decide how we will distribute the amount and what kind of ideas our students will have, says Krista Perälä, the chair of the executive board of LYY.
The University of Lapland’s theme for actions in 2023 is supporting wellness. The University strives to find new ways for the entiry community to promote the wellness of both students and staff.
