Board of Aalto BT ry

Get to know the board roles and the amazing volunteers behind them. A new board is elected for each calendar year and any member can run. Senior Advisor is exceptionally chosen from the old board.

Application to board 2023 is open and elections are on 15th Nov! Apply here.

Who can apply? If you are an Aalto BT member, want to contribute to your student community and are interested in volunteering, you’re a perfect candidate! No experience whatsoever is required, but keep in mind that board work may be difficult to combine with both full-time work and studies.
