What is a Kylli?

 

My name is Aku Buckbee, and I work as a student liaison at JSBE.

Student liaison, or Kylli, is a link between business and economics students and Suomen Ekonomit. Above all, Suomen Ekonomit activities emphasize diversity, from education policy and lobbying to leisure activities. If you have any questions about your membership, don’t hesitate to contact me! You can easily reach me via email or social media channels, but I’m happy to talk about membership issues face to face as well!

I update current news from Suomen Ekonomit via Facebook, Instagram, the website and my Kyllin Hyvää column in our subject organizations (Pörssi) magazine. Follow my IG and Facebook pages to stay up to date on current events.

Feel free to ask me any questions at events or at our campus!
