Summer is over and a new semester begins with new endeavors and old responsibilities. Pareto would like to take a moment to welcome the new students of Uppsala University Economics Master Programme and thank everyone who attended the welcoming week, we sincerely hope that you had as much fun as we did and that you by now have started to settle in into your (potentially) new environment.

We would like to take this opportunity to inform about some upcoming events and opportunities.

First and foremost, today, the 16th of September, we are launching our new lecture co-operation with the Ph.D students of the department where about once a month a select Ph.D students will come a present his or her current research. We of Pareto are very excited about this new project and are positive that this will be a great learning experience for students of economics.

In addition, we have an annual meeting coming up on the 23rd of september, where not only the agenda for the coming year will be discussed but also, and perhaps most importantly, we will elect several formal positions for the Pareto Board. Hence, if you are interested in joining up with Pareto and help influence your education whilst getting some experience in the everyday workings of an organization do not hesitate to nominate either yourself or a friend for one or more of the available positions on the board. To do this, either send an email to contact@paretouppsala.se or simply show up at the meeting and nominate yourself then and there (although we would prefer to have nominations set in beforehand).

Positions currently open for nomination:

President
Vice-President
Secretary
3-7 Board members
2 persons to be part of election commitee

Also, if you would like to see what our day-to-day operations are like, we have a meeting scheduled for the 18th of september which all our current or potential members are welcome to attend.

We have great plans for the coming year, which will be revealed at a later date, thanks for listening and we wish you an educational and fruitful semester!

Regards,
Pareto.
