Severi Boesen is JYY’s new Communications Intern

Severi Boesen has started this week as JYY’s new Communications Intern. The duration of the internship is four months.

Boesen has studied information technology at Jamk and graduated in the spring 2026. During the studies, Boesen worked as a student active and an employee of the student union JAMKO.

“A student community is everyone’s right, and the Foundation of that community at the university is the student union. I’m motivated by presenting that community to students, whether it’s with new students or the higher education consortium”, Boesen says.

“For the average student, at worst associations can appear as grey, byrocracy-filled secret councils, which often is nowhere near the reality. As a former student and later as an active, I know this well. This fall I will be thinking about how to break these beliefs.”

During the internship, Boesen will be working especially on the visibility of JYY and its different areas of operations.
