About the committee
The committee is the governing body of our society. It is responsible for the daily running of the society and usually convene on a monthly basis. The members are elected for a half academic year with elections held in early May and late November. However all members are encouraged to participate in the running of the society and are therefore invited to attend committee meetings. Members who wish to participate in the committee's work should contact the committee by email for further details and an invitation to the next committee meeting.

President I'm a Swedish/Johnian 2nd year NatSci hoping to major in Neuroscience... and I'm your Scandinavian Society President until May 2010! We're going to make this a fantastic year with lots of socializing, a good support network and of course the ambassadors dinner... If you have any questions or ideas for how to make it even better I'm always keen for your input! Looking forward to seeing you at lots of events. |
