Out with the old, in with the new

Phew, what a year. And that’s an understatement. It’s time to wrap up the term of the 2020 board, and welcome the 2021 board. I hope you’re all doing okay despite all this – I know many had their exchange years cut short or had to rush back home to be with their family. Or couldn’t go home at all. I truly hope this year will treat us all better, and that CISSI’s board and other student organisations get to organise all the fun events that the we couldn’t last year due to the pandemic. But most importantly, I hope you and your loved ones will stay safe and healthy.

Despite the pandemic, a lot happened during our term. We got to invent new ways to gather safely, and to have fun online. We indeed had some amazing events outdoors (such as the hike at Luukki, and the event at Vanhakapunginkoski and Lammassaari). We even managed to have a bit of a party outside at the beginning of the Autumn term! Some of you may know this already, but CISSI also become an official subject organisation last year, which was a big step and achievement for us (thanks to the board of 2019 for laying the foundation for this). Special thanks to our first-ever student advocate Axelle!

Thank you, board and deputies of 2020. You were amazing, and I am happy I got to work with you all! I would also like to thank everyone who attended our events, joined CISSI, followed us on social media, or were involved with CISSI in any way.

Love,

Iina
CISSI’s chair of 2020
