School of social science - candidates

Elections for the Student Council are held on March 26th

Candidates

Chairperson - 1st place

Vignir Berg Pálsson

Political Science

Who are you and what are the main issues you focus on within your School?

I'm in my second year in political science and the last year I have served as the president of the student association there which has both been instructive and rewarding . I'm passionate about better facilities for students and student associations. I Also want more diverse and flexible teaching methods, including more availability of online learning.

2nd place

Gabríel Leó Ívarsson

Buisness

Who are you and what are the main issues you focus on within your School?

I am a 22 year old business student in my second year. Ever since I started university I have noticed how bad the facilities in Oddi are and nothing has changed. Accessibility for people with disabilities is not good enough and all of the courses are 6 credits despite the workload being different

3rd place

Sif Káradóttir

Law

Who are you and what are the main issues you focus on within your School?

I am a 20-year-old law student and like the majority of law students, I know the cost of books is very high. There is also a need for better facilities in Lögberg and more flexible teaching methods. There seems to be a need for changes in the student union to protect students' interests, and Röskva's lists are composed of people who are willing to speak against injustice and have the right heart.

4th place

Íris Embla Stefánsdóttir

Social work

Who are you and what are the main issues you focus on within your School?

My name is Íris Embla and I am a first-year social work student. I believe it's important that every student's voice is heard and I want to contribute to improve the study environment and create a strong and positive university community.

5th place

Auður Halla Rögnvaldsdóttir

Political science

Who are you and what are the main issues you focus on within your School?

My name is Auður Halla, and I am a 22-year-old political science student. I have been active in Röskva for one year and currently serve as the chair of Röskva's policy committee. I am passionate about improving students’ living conditions in society. I believe that students should not have to pay for public university education, as education is one of the best investments a government can make. I want to fight for this cause wholeheartedly.
