Hopefully I’ll get to meet you in events and at the university☺️

The Vice-chair and the Development Co-operation Mikke:

Hi, I'm Mikke and I'm the vice-chair and development co-operation. I was social affair coordinator last year so I know a lot about interest supervision and I like working on it. If I was a character in Hundred Acre Wood, I would be the rabbit. Responsible and sometimes I snarl.

Event planner Roosa:

Hi! I'm Roosa, and this year I'm the event planner for Varkaat ry. I'm 19 years old and I'm a first year student studying the Early childhood education. On my free time I like to spend time outdoors, knitting and hanging out with friends. I'd be a Piglet in the Hundred Acre Wood; I'm a bit shy but even friendlier 🤗Hope to see you at future events! 🫶🏻

In the Hundred Acre Woods, I'd probably be Christopher Robin because I'm always ready for new adventures, yet quite a dreamer at the same time! Hopefully we’ll meet around campus and at upcoming events🤩

Hello! I'm Maisa and I’m the social affair coordinator for Varkaat🙌🏼 I'm a 21-year-old first-year student and you can find me at student events or at lähde where I might be studying (or playing Hay Day)🤠 In Hundred Acre Wood, I'd be Kanga, because according to my friends I'm a mother figure who takes care of others:)🦘You can always pull me by the sleeve, no matter what!

Hi! I'm Helmi, and I'll continue as media coordinator for this season.👩‍💻 I'm 21 years old and currently in my third year. In my free time, you can find me at student events, with friends, and maybe even at the library. If I were a character of the Hundred Acre Wood, I would definitely be Lumpy💜 (specifically the Heffalump from the Winnie the Pooh & Heffalump movie). Lumpy is quite playful, silly, energetic, and tends to live a lot based on emotions. I suspect I've shaped my personality a bit based on that movie.😅 If you see me somewhere, feel free to say hi; I usually walk with my head in the clouds and might not notice you myself.🩷

I also try to finish my unfinished knitting projects🧶 Out of the characters from the Hundred Acre Wood I would be Tigger, since I'm always jolly with a lot of energy for joking and going around! Pull me by the sleeve if you have anything to ask, or if you don't really have! See you around at the campus and events💕
