They were elected to the board, collegium, and faculty boards by University of Oulu staff
Professors Marko Huttula and Terhi Ruuska-Loewald were elected to the Board of Directors of the University of Oulu. University Lecturer Toni Liedes (in the picture) and Postdoctoral Researcher Pauli Väisänen were elected as representatives of the other teaching and research staff and other personnel on the board. Among the elected members, Toni Liedes is new to the board.
The University Collegium still needs to confirm the election of the board members.
During the next four-year term, the Board of Directors will have a total of 10 members. In its October meeting, the Student Council of the Student Union of the University of Oulu (OYY) elected Lotta Pennala, a student of economics, and Vilma Sippola, a student of the history of sciences and ideas, as student representatives. In addition, already in May, the University Collegium elected Industrial Counsellor Pertti Huuskonen, Adjunct Professor (Docent) Sakari Karjalainen, Adjunct Professor Leena Nissilä and Adjunct Professor Anneli Pouta as non-members of the university community.
The board of the University of Oulu decides, among other things, on the key objectives of the University's operations and finances, the strategy and principles of steering, as well as the operational and financial plan.
