Kick off and sponsorship
One of Jönköping Student union’s main tasks is welcoming new students to Jönköping University. This includes introducing new students to the university and the city, as well as creating a good environment for the new students to get to know each other and the old students. Every year Jönköping Student union trains fathers/sponsors (fadder in Swedish) who is responsible for the new students during the kick off. They are trained in leadership, cooperation, first aid and social relations between students. The kick off, or welcome week as it is also known, can have different forms depending on which specialist school you are studying at and which of the student sections that is responsible for your kick off.
All kick offs have two things in common and that is the Academic introduction day and SWE, Student Water Event. The Academic introduction is just what it sounds like, an introduction to the academic world and everything that comes with it. SWE is a big pool party at the public swimming hall.
Henning Karlsson is vice president responsible for social welfare quality.
