After two long evenings, the union parliament has elected representatives. You can find a complete list of all the people elected at the election page and the vacancies are available on the application page. During the upcoming weeks, the union’s instagram account will feature short interviews with some of the elected representatives so if you are curious about the students that were elected, be sure to check it out.
LUNA – a visionary future
Universum was filled with active LUNA with big dreams for the union, and their ideas were many. The board hosted a Vision Workshop for all LUNA members, with the aim to gather ideas for future union work and to see what the members find important. The interest for this was great. Members of most student councils were present and everyone took their chance to express their thoughts about how the union should be and not be.
During the evening, discussions was held about what the long term goal of LUNA should be and how the union could gather more members. Passionate ideas about having more social events for active members, and a future education where you can choose to have all courses whenever you want, and the possibility to have them all in English. Furthermore some more concrete ideas were brought up, such as creating a committee with the task to host smaller social events for all LUNA members and to work for removal of grades on group work all over the faculty.
The discussions lasted until late that night, and there were lots of thoughts brought back home. The operational year has almost come to an end, but the union work has definitely not done that. There is a lot left to work on to make sure that the students at the faculty of science have the best university time that is possible. And the union has both ideas about what to do and members who want to do it. It will be really interesting to follow LUNA during the upcoming operational year!

A sporty Skvalborg celebration!
It is Skvalborg 2018, the sun is shining and Borgarparken is filled with LUNA members. They sit down together, they talk to each other and they enjoy the beautiful weather. But even though there is a nice, friendly atmosphere, it is possible to feel the upcoming competition. It is time for the annual Absurd Student council Olympics, ASO, and this year have the Sports Committee and the Party Committee together planned three events for the teams to compete in; soap games, volleyball and reduction ball.
The teams for the day are the same as during the Novisch Period. LEMUR, SNYS, GLuFS and BÖÖL competes against each other, and even though the size of the teams differ, the hype is real in all of them. Some of the teams have even brought mascots for this special events. But the day is more than just a competition. Between the events are there time for barbeque, ice cream eating and lots of laughs with good friends. So when the sun suddenly disappears and LEMUR has won the grand prize, the Champinjon, for the second year in a row, everyone can leave the park in a good mood and feel prepared for a wonderful weekend filled with Valborg celebrations.
The Information Committee hopes that you all have had a nice Valborg and are ready for the last month of school before the summer!

What should I choose?
The spring has come, and with that is it also time to decide which courses you should take during the upcoming fall. The 16th of April is the last day to apply, and since there are lots of courses to choose from, it might not be the easiest thing to do. The decision is extra hard for those who shall decide which master program they want to start in September. The student council for environmental scientists, MYS, wanted to help out and arranged an evening with information about the different masters programs given at their institution.
It was a mixed group of students from all three grades at the bachelor program who showed up in the Ecology building when the evening was about to start, all interested to hear which possibilities the institution could offer for their future and to be able to ask questions. The evening began with a short presentation of the programs are given at the institution, which in total is four different programs whereof one of them has four different specializations. After the introduction, teachers that are involved in the respectively programs held further presentation of the different courses that are included in the master programs. The attendees of the night was also able to ask whatever questions that might come up regarding the programs and a future as master student.
After thorough presentation of all the master programs and discussions of questions like; “How hard is it to get accepted to the different programs?” and “Which courses should i choose if I want them to combine with my bachelor in a good way?” was it finally time for some well deserved fika. Meanwhile chewing on a cake or a sandwich was it also possible to continue the questioning, both to the previous speakers as well as to current master students who attended the evening just to answer questions. All of this summed up to a little bit less confused environmental scientists that left the Ecology building that night, even though they still had a big decision in front of them. A decision which they have to take before the 16th of April. The information committee wishes you good luck with your own choices of courses; do not forget to apply before the 16th of April!

Finally – UTOPIA ticket release
A new year has come, and with that is it also time for new exciting events within the union. One of the biggest, and probably most spectacular of them all is Utopia, the science unions own annual ball. The tickets to the ball will be released to all LUNA members this Thursday, 1st of February at 18.00, and for everyone one week after that, 8th of February. These dates are important to keep in mind if you want a ticket, since the demand for tickets is great. Last year, all of them ran out in two minutes at the first release.
”So, why that great hype?” you may ask yourself. Well, there are many reasons to attend a ball, and there are many students within LUNA who has lovely memories from the ball last year. However, the information committee decided to ask the ball masters from this and last year for their best reasons to attend UTOPIA.
Alisha, who is one of the two ball masters in charge of this years ball, answered the question with that UTOPIA is the ball of the science union, which you definitely don’t want to miss! Furthermore, she says that it is a great opportunity to make memories for life together with good friends, or to put it simply, it will be awesome!
Johanna and Daniel, who had Alishas job last year lists a few other reasons to join the UTOPIA family. First of all, balls are one of the most central and student-like parts of the student life. It is much more than just a sitting, it is a part of the history of LUNA. The union had a ball many years ago, but the tradition disappeared and was brought back to life again last year. Apart from that, UTOPIA is an evening when you get the chance to dress up in your finest clothes and be surrounded by lovely LUNA people a whole night. And maybe one of the most important things, you get delicious food which you don’t need to cook by yourself!
The information committee wished you all good luck at the ticket release on Thursday and hopes that we will meet in AF-borgen at UTOPIA!
