Club members had the opportunity to read in the Foreign Student the Foreign Student Club’s newly elected Chairperson Fadi Krikorian’s views on the club’s direction. After thanking the previous board for their good work, Fadi said that the prospects of the club are good.
“…tradition programmes such as international evenings will continue, there will be trips inside and outside Finland, and there will be many opportunities to familiarise Finns with visitors in their country. And to the Finns I would add, come to our club and enjoy an exotic atmosphere right here in Finland,” wrote Fadi.
The new board of the club was: Fadi, chairperson; Alexander Sannemann, vice-chairperson, Paula Backman, treasurer (formerly secretary); Huda Quazi M., programme officer; David Haush, information officer, replaced Vinaya Gupta; John Arnold and Enrique Tessieri are the editorial staff of the Foreign Student.
Unfortunately, the new chairperson did not mention in his column anything about the activism of the club in securing better rights for foreigners in Finland.
