4 quick questions for SAKS' new chairman

Published

The board of Sahlgrenska Academy's student union for the academic year 2024/2025 is in place. We have asked 4 quick questions to student union president Noa Galan Frick. Noa graduated with a degree in pharmacy this past summer.

What issues are most important to the student body right now in terms of the faculty's educations?

Our focus regarding educational monitoring for this term is to create a safe and welcoming work environment. We are convinced that this is an important factor in facilitating good studies.

What challenges are there for the student union to be able to work on these issues?

The creation of a safe and welcoming work environment is a continuous process that is achieved through everything from more conscious monitoring of campus development to reviewing how situations regarding harassment and discrimination are handled.

One of the challenges we see is the need to improve study places in Medicinarelängan. The fact that the places are somewhat old has probably not been missed by anyone, but this has recently become more apparent after the completion of Natrium.

Why did you want to get involved in the student union? What is your driving force?

For me, joining the union was a given the moment I started my studies in the fall semester of 2019. Today, I find it hard to imagine how I would have managed my studies so well without having something else fun to do on the side.

My motivation now is largely based on a desire to give back and see how, with a little more time at my disposal, I can strengthen the union using the experiences I’ve gained during my time as an active member.

Why should someone join of the student union?

By joining SAKS, you not only gain access to all the exciting activities and events that our associations have to offer, but you also have the opportunity to be part of shaping important decisions that will influence the future of the union. Additionally, you get to meet many wonderful people and create memories that you will look back on for many years to come.
