The Student Union of the University of Vaasa (VYY) celebrates its 59th Annual Ball in February. This year, the Annual Ball Coordinator in charge is Viljo Paavola, who the Executive Board selected for the position earlier this fall. 

Paavola is a second-year student of administrative sciences at the University of Vaasa. He says the diversity of the tasks got him to apply for the position. 
“The Annual Ball is a unique event, and I’m excited to gain experience in organizing such a versatile event”, Paavola says.

Paavola is interested in Student Union activities, which is why he is eagerly looking forward to organizing the Annual Ball. He has gathered previous experience in event management in organizations. 
“Viljo’s interest and enthusiasm to join us in organizing the traditional Student Union event already made an impression in the interview stage. We’re happy to get a motivated worker like Viljo to join our team”, rejoices VYY’s Secretary General Lauri Tuohiniemi. 

Paavola hopes that VYY’s members join the celebrations in large numbers. 
“I’m especially looking forward to a warm and unique atmosphere”, he describes.
