Become an officer

Join the gang! Each term the nation looks for students wanting to become active in our daily activities. As an office you will learn a lot of new things, challenge yourself in a new environment, but most importantly – make friends for life!

Officer positions are decided on by the nationssammankomst – which is a meeting held by the nation three times per term. During this meeting an applicant will give a brief presentation about themselves and about why they are applying for the specific officer position. If you have any questions, or are curious about any officer positions you can always contact the head of the ämbetsvalberedningen ambete@vastgotanation.se.
