Hundere

Since the General Assembly in spring 2025, I and the former Chair, Magnus Schie Larsen, together with the rest of the Samfunnsstyret, have continued working on the development of the organization in accordance with the

2025 work program. Below is a brief report on some of the most important matters the Samfunnsstyret has worked on this year.

Buddy week (Fadderuka)

We had a very successful welcome week, with many events and strong attendance. We began cooperating with the Faddergeneral (Welcome Week Coordinator) early, and the Samfunnsstyret has had at least one representative on the welcome week committee throughout the spring. Additionally, there were several meetings focused on practical clarifications. This had a huge impact and enabled excellent collaboration. The Head of Marketing and I gave presentations to both the mentors and the new students about what the Samfunnet is and how important it is to contribute. A party for the mentors was also held in collaboration with the other bodies at the Student Society.

This year's Grillfest (Barbecue Party) was a great success despite heavy rain. We were very satisfied with the planning, execution, and outcome. This year, the Samfunnet received support from the welcome week’s sober volunteers for community service roles, which allowed us to increase our capacity, particularly during Wednesday parties. The Samfunnsstyret is very grateful for the good collaboration during Welcome Week 2025.

Collaboration with others

In 2025, we’ve had excellent cooperation with various actors regarding events at Samfunnet, and we would like to thank everyone who contributes to strong activity and good use of the house. The Samfunnsstyret aims to strengthen relationships with other stakeholders on campus and in the surrounding area, which we hope will further improve the operations of the Samfunnet.

The collaboration with SiÅs has been an important area of development, and we’ve seen significant improvement. A joint room booking system has been established, and regular meetings are now scheduled to ensure smooth collaboration. We look forward to continuing this positive partnership!

Organizational Development

This fall, the Samfunnsstyret has evaluated how recent changes in the board and the “blocks” (organizational units) have worked. The conclusion from the evaluations is that the recent changes have been beneficial and that the current structure works well.

HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) is something we in the Samfunnet take seriously and want to focus on even more going forward. We have therefore established a project position called KS HMS, which will map the Samfunnet’s routines, identify areas for improvement, and ensure that good routines are maintained.

The Organization in General

As before, this fall we focused on informing new students about what the Samfunnet is, our activities, and the opportunities to get

involved as a volunteer. It’s been a great pleasure to talk to so many new students.

We’ve had a strong recruitment period thank you to everyone who contributed! With a few exceptions, we are well-equipped to continue offering a diverse range of events and cultural activities to the students of Ås. If you, as a member, want to get more involved but don’t know where to start, I recommend grabbing someone from the Samfunnsstyret during the General Assembly, or sending us a message. You’ll find all contact information on our website.

The Student Society has also enjoyed great collaboration across all its bodies, which we are very pleased with. We are especially preparing for a major joint shutdown of Aud.Max, and we are actively working on finding solutions that can benefit multiple groups. I look forward to continuing this strong collaboration especially with UKA, which is now ramping up its planning efforts.

In 2025, the Samfunnsstyret has focused on being present at Student Parliament meetings. This is something we want to continue doing, as we find it very useful to be present in such an important forum where many decisions are made on behalf of the students. It also makes it easier for others to direct questions to the Samfunnet when matters arise that involve us.

This year, the Samfunnet together with the other bodies of the Student Society has participated in meetings with Ås Cultural Council (ÅKR). ÅKR works to promote cultural actors in the municipality, making it a natural partner for us to collaborate with.

If you would like more details about what’s happening in the Student Society, I recommend reading the more detailed reports from the other board members.

As always, we strive to do our very best so that you are satisfied, and we are always open to feedback and suggestions.

Finally, I want to thank you for the trust you have placed in me as Chair of the Samfunnsstyret. It is a great honor, and I do not take lightly the responsibility that comes with the role. Thank you to Magnus and the rest of the board for welcoming me so warmly and for making the transition from spring to fall go smoothly. I would also like to extend a big thank you to everyone who contributes to the house, making sure we all have a place to gather during our studies and stay here in Ås.

I very much look forward to continuing the work with the board, the rest of the office team, our partners, and, most importantly, you, the members, in the coming half-year!

Oskar Solberg Lægland, Leader av Samfunnet i Ås 2025/2026.

Report from Chief of Administration Sigbjørn Flatin

Honorable General Assembly!

The Administration Block – Autumn 2025

Administration Assistant: Julie-Regine Løken

HR Manager (incoming): Bjørn Danielsen (Signy Tangen)

Personnel Managers: Solveig Christensen and Sofie Totlan Brækkan

Linticket KS: Tuva Kullvik

IT Manager: Sebastian Mollan

Billetto KS: Sebastian Bræin Aaen

HMS KS: Ludo Van Der Lee

Committee Members:

Room Booking:

Sofia Buddeberg

Maja Tveito Frostad

Linticket: Annveig Foss

Lotte Baklund-Engnes

Jone Groth Lerstøl

The KS members and committee members of the Administration Block have all put in a great effort throughout the autumn semester both new and experienced ones!

The Administration Block’s work this autumn

Administration Assistant Julie continuously updates the overview of volunteers at Studentsamfunnet and follows up on contracts. She is also responsible for all communication with NMBU regarding key card access, ensuring that everyone’s access needs in the house are met! Committee members Sofia Buddeberg and Maja Tveito Frostad have handled all communication related to room bookings.

The Personnel Managers, Solveig and Sofie, answer questions about memberships and community service. They are also responsible for organizing the community service shifts. If someone wishes to swap a shift with another person, these are the ones who make it happen.

Our HR Manager Bjørn has since September had a new successor in the HR Manager role: Signy. This semester, both KS forums, KS workshops, and KM workshops have been held, all of which have contributed valuable ideas and solutions for further operations. He is always available to those who reach out and assists especially with recruitment processes.

Tuva, KS Linticket, continuously solves issues for everyone struggling with Linticket. In the ongoing development of LinTicket, the committee follows up on which functions can be improved and how the system can become more userfriendly and better adapted to Studentsamfunnet i Ås.

After the start of the school year, a completely new position was created HMS KS. This role is responsible for mapping good and poor routines related to health, environment, and safety in the operation of the house, particularly during party nights. The position also exists to help committees with their HMS work.

Another new KS position was also established KS Billetto. Sebastian, who holds this position, is exploring the possibility of using Billetto as both a ticketing and membership system, as feedback on Linticket has varied according to the society’s survey. Billetto is being evaluated to improve the guest experience.

Problems and questions related to IT are handled by Sebastian Mollan, the IT Manager. He continuously creates new user accounts and email groups within the organization, simplifying communication between the different bodies.

Membership numbers

As of October 10th, 2025, Studentsamfunnet i Ås has 2,334 members, of which 121 are international members. This accounts for about 30% of all NMBU students! The Society Board hopes that the interest in being a member of Studentsamfunnet i Ås will remain strong we truly appreciate that so many wish to be part of it!

Thank you!

To all committee leaders and committee members in the Administration Block –thank you so much for the great work you’ve done! Your commitment and effort are deeply appreciated Samfunnet simply wouldn’t function without you!

There are several changes I have proposed and implemented that I’m very happy with. Improving something and seeing the results is always rewarding. I want to express my sincere gratitude for the time I’ve spent on the Society Board. A special thanks to the Board for the support along the way, for being great conversation partners, and for being such a good group to spend time with!

I also want to thank the rest of the Office Wing for sitting countless hours together in the office and afterwards enjoying a well-deserved “lunch burger” from Babylon.

If you ever wonder whether you should run for something at the General Assembly – do it! Many have stood on this stage before you, and everyone made it out just fine, including myself.

Sigbjørn

Flatin, Chief of Administration

Samfunnet i Ås 2025

Report from the Head of Finance Egil Natvik Vestrheim and Ola Reinschou Andersen

Dear General Assembly,

This autumn, the finance division has consisted of:

Finance Assistant: Skule Skei Kostveit

Accountants: Frida Amalie Gundersen, Dalia Qadirzada, Nikolina Trifković, John Stokkevåg Eide, Haben Berh, and Silje Stengrimsen

Climate Accounts Coordinator: Håkon Basma

Analysis Coordinators: Jony Karmakar and Frida Walle

Half-Year Financial Report – Spring 2025

The half-year financial report (January 1 –June 30) shows a negative result of NOK 67,000. Revenues were lower than budgeted, mainly due to fewer tickets sold for the semester kickoff and the concert during the Sprell Festival. On the cost side, spending was slightly higher than expected for workwear, licenses, event expenses, and card fees.

Financial Update – Autumn 2025

The semester began with a two-week Freshers’ Week, which was a great success. Bringing more of the Freshers’ Week events into Samfunnet has been a key priority, and this has shown clear financial results.

This year, 4,596 tickets were sold, up from 2,872 in 2024 and 3,961 in 2023. Ticket revenues totaled NOK 494,000, and bar sales amounted to NOK 368,000.

A sold-out semester kickoff featuring Vassendgutane and a successful Oktoberfest also contributed positively to both ticket sales and bar revenue. The student revues have proven to be an important economic driver, attracting large audiences and generating strong bar sales.

As a measure to improve the flow of guests and even out attendance throughout the evening, we have introduced reduced bar prices between 21:00 and 22:00 on party nights. This has already encouraged guests to arrive earlier, allowing concerts and revues to start on time.

Overall, the financial outlook for the semester appears significantly improved compared to the half-year report, and it will be exciting to follow the development further.

Investments

Studentsamfunnet’s funds are placed in Alfred Nobel Likviditets Pluss, currently totaling NOK 10,993,054, which has achieved an annual return of 5.4% since its launch nearly two years ago. The fund is a low-risk bond fund investing in short-term debt securities with maturities under one year, issued by solid entities such as the government, municipalities, and major companies.

In addition, we have deposits placed through Fixrate, totaling NOK 5,210,075 with a 30-day lock-in period and a current interest rate of 4.4%.

The remaining funds are held across various bank accounts, with a total balance of approximately NOK 5.5 million, naturally fluctuating throughout the year as revenues and expenses occur.

Work in the Finance Division

Throughout the year, we have worked to improve and streamline our financial routines. Studentsamfunnet has grown significantly over the past 10–15 years, and with increasing turnover comes stricter auditing

and documentation requirements. We have focused heavily on automation and integration between accounting, banking, and point-of-sale systems. This work will continue going forward.

Finance Assistant:

Skule has done an outstanding job as finance assistant. He handles invoicing for Samfunnet, NU, and Tuntreet, in addition to assisting committees with purchases and workwear orders always with a positive and solutionoriented attitude.

Accountants:

The accounting team manages the books for the entire organization, ensuring that transactions and payments are handled correctly and on time. Studentsamfunnet operates a large and complex organization with an annual turnover of several million kroner, and this would not be possible without the skilled and dedicated team behind the accounts. They consistently deliver excellent results.

Climate Accounting

The Climate Accounting Committee, led by Håkon Basma, consists of 12 members who are responsible for calculating the organization’s total emissions and identifying key areas for reduction.

The committee has also taken over responsibility for Eco-Lighthouse (Miljøfyrtårn) certification and sustainability efforts after Studentsamfunnet received its certification in spring 2025. They are now working to improve routines and ensure systematic sustainability practices across the organization. Håkon and his team played an important role in the certification process, and I look forward to following their continued progress.

Analysis

We are continuously working to use available data more systematically in our operations. Jony Karmakar has served as Head of Analysis, with Frida Walle recently taking over the role. This is an area with great potential, and I am confident that this work will lead to better management insights and more data-driven decision-making at Samfunnet in the future.

Thank You

With this, I would like to thank you for the trust and opportunity to serve as Finance Manager during this period. The position has been demanding, but also incredibly educational, rewarding, and enjoyable. A huge thank you to the fantastic finance team for their commitment and collaboration throughout the year. Thank you also for the confidence placed in me to manage Studentsamfunnet’s finances on behalf of all members.

I wish our incoming finance manager, Ola Reinskou Andersen, the best of luck in 2026 you’ll do an excellent job!

Report from the Head of Bodega Rakel Mariannedotter Orvedal

Honorable General Assembly!

Bodega Block Autumn 2025

Club: Atavan Sivashankar

After a period of high dropout rates before the summer, we have had a successful recruitment period. Over time, all committees have managed to fill their positions, although we would have liked to see even more members. The Board has aimed to increase the number of events on party nights and during “under 75%” events, which naturally requires sufficient staffing.

The Bodega Department and the Entrance Committee have carried out fire drills so that their members are well prepared in case of an emergency. An unannounced fire drill was also conducted and the results were satisfactory.

Several members of the Security Committee have completed their recertification exams, ensuring that the committee is well equipped for the new

semester. The Technical Committee has been in dialogue with the Safety Academy to develop tailored courses with casebased assignments relevant to our operations. In addition, several new radios have been purchased to ensure clear communication during both our and UKA’s party events. Unfortunately, the new radios have not met expectations, and we are still in contact with the supplier to identify the cause.

After a somewhat slow start for the Food Committee, food sales have resumed at our party nights. The committee will continue working to improve kitchen operations through clear procedures and food safety training.

This autumn, we have experimented with keeping the rooms on the second floor open during party nights to test capacity and explore alternative solutions for when Aud.Max closes. However, the project cannot be considered a success, as few guests chose to stay in these rooms. A working group has therefore been established to continue the project and develop offers and activities that can make these spaces more attractive to Samfunnet’s guests. This is an important effort, as more rooms must be utilized if Samfunnet is to maintain its services during the renovation of Aud.Max.

The roof work above Rosehagen has now been completed, and the room could already be taken into use in August. The project was originally budgeted as costly but turned out to be less expensive than anticipated. The remaining funds are therefore planned to be used for other necessary projects in the building.

The Festal Stage is now finished although much later than planned. This caused some challenges, as Samfunnet had expected the room to be ready for use at the start of the semester.

Further work in the building will focus on repairing the leak in Halvor’s Room. DVU has not yet set a start date, but the remaining funds from the Rosehagen project are planned to be used here.

There have been many discussions regarding card readers and related systems, but little concrete progress has been made this semester. However, DVU has purchased several storage units and AV equipment, allowing the Fest Hall, Meeting Room, Banquet Hall, and Common Room to be used for lectures and other academic activities. Coordination for increased activity this spring is already underway.

Aud.Max has seen better days. This semester, safety measures were introduced as the façade was deemed unstable and at risk of falling. NMBU and Samfunnet maintained good communication, and necessary measures were implemented immediately after the hazard was identified.

However, the new safety assessment has concluded that Aud.Max must be closed

starting next semester. The planned start date for renovations is February.

Finally, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to all committee leaders and members of the Bodega Block for your tremendous effort and dedication. Without you, Samfunnet would not be able to offer Ås students the vibrant and diverse community we have today.

You are absolutely fantastic – it has been an honor to serve as your Bodega Chief!

Rakel Mariannedotter Orvedal, Party boss for Samfunnet i Ås 2025.

Report from the Head of Events Otto Engum and Sunniva McNamara Hundere

Honorable General Assembly!

Events block Autumn 2025

Events assistant: Edith Lisa Norheim

Concert assistant: Patrycja Kaminska

Activity and Current Affairs: Ragnhild Bråten

Sound: Elias Rossetnes and Henrik Johan

Larsson

Lighting: Håvard Smidesang, and Sander

Nygaard

Revue: Liv Elise Slang

Disco: David Hammer

Artist and Booking: Emma Kruge Storvand and Emil Fjeld

As of now, the block consists of a total of 63 committee members. The Event Committee has 11 members, the Revue Committee has 3, the Activities Committee has 6, the Current Affairs Committee has 7, the Artist and Booking Committee has 8, the Disco Committee has 8, the Lighting Committee has 11, and the Sound Committee has 17 members.

This semester has flown by, which is hardly surprising when looking back at all the varied and well-executed events that the event block has worked so hard to make happen. That’s definitely something to be proud of!

The Autumn So Far

The fall semester got off to a strong start with this year’s Orientation Week. We collaborated closely with the Orientation Week team, and several of their events were hosted at Samfunnet. As a result, we’ve attracted more

guests to the venue and had several sold-out events.

We’ve also tested solutions for when Aud Max closes, such as Kongen befaler (“The King Commands”). In addition, we’ve expanded our range of events, experimented with using more rooms in the building during party nights, and explored opportunities for hosting double concerts.

There’s been great interest in political events this fall, especially the Election Debate and Election Watch Party. Both were very popular and generated a lot of engagement. This is something we’d like to continue exploring in the coming semester.

We’ve also established a good collaboration with UKA, particularly with the Artist and Booking Committee. It’s inspiring to see how we can make use of each other’s experience and networks to strengthen the cultural offerings at the venue.

We’ve also worked on streamlining some positions, which has led to changes in the organizational structure. For example, the Activities and Current Affairs Committees have been merged, and we’ve also introduced a new Concert Assistant role.

The Coming Spring

Work on the spring semester program is already well underway. As always, we aim for a varied and creative lineup, and we’re exploring ways to include more passive offerings during our events. Next semester will be a bit different, as Aud Max will be closed for renovations. Despite this, we aim to keep the semester as normal as possible. For

instance, we plan to continue following the revue schedule and hosting great concerts. With many creative minds at work and contributions from Mini-UKA, we’re already excited to show you what’s in store.

Committee Work

After a somewhat turbulent summer with the replacement of three committee heads and little overlap, the block is finally operating at full strength! The block is known for running smoothly on its own, and once it gets going without training wheels, it’s hard to stop. The committees are functioning well and executing their tasks with both style and quality. Film, as usual, is the hardest committee to recruit for, but after a solid recruitment period, that trend seems to be turning. The other committees are making necessary priorities to ensure that the block delivers at least what’s expected of us and that the Society’s events and activities reach the student body.

As an ambition for the 2024 election, my goal was to show that the Society is a meeting place and an association that can be rewarding, engaging, and most importantly—a place to build relationships, connections, and

friendships. I find that there is great enthusiasm among guests and volunteers and that everyone is thriving. The semester has had a record number of sold-out events, strong buzz around all activities, and, not least, a positive culture both internally and externally.

This semester has been marked by a successful recruitment period, during which the Society’s activities have remained strong and we’ve delivered the quality we expect from ourselves. We’ve increased our membership base, volunteer numbers, and followers across all social media channels.

Due to declining interest and the resource demands of training, the Society’s podcast “Ås’n går det” (formerly Agrarmetropodden) has unfortunately been discontinued.

Additionally, some strategies have been reassessed, hopefully leading to positive ripple effects. For instance, we experimented with releasing tickets earlier for mentors and freshmen during orientation week to ensure better bonding and good experiences for firstyear students—an initiative that was a great success. Furthermore, the system for concert and major event ticket releases has been revised; going forward, concerts will be announced as early as possible departing from the previous one-week-before practice.

Unlike in previous years, new ways of utilizing the block have been explored, including the use of the Film Committee for the production of the Society’s very own show Kongen Befaler: Ås Edition, and the Association Series with the SoMe

Committee two projects that have sparked great enthusiasm and joy! This continues and strengthens the already good collaboration within Ås’s association life.

In addition, new concepts such as Kongen Befaler: Ås Edition, the election watch party, the election debate, and collaborative events with SiÅs, the Executive Committee, and Orientation Week have proven that we can deliver excellent events with good, efficient teamwork that’s both rewarding and fun!

Due to complications and workload intensity, the Society’s own association website has unfortunately been discontinued. Instead, we’ve transitioned to using the municipality’s portal for associations, with filters for student organizations a visually better and more user-friendly solution. The Society has received some criticism for this change, which is regrettable, but ultimately it’s a better solution.

In our work toward greater sustainability, procurement routines and reuse have been reviewed following KS Climate Accounts’ efforts. Purchases will be tightened, avoiding unnecessary consumption, and the procurement of workwear has been revised where a new batch of work clothes will come from unsold merchandise.

The Society’s media and press relations have also received increased attention. Among other things, an NRK article was written in which the Society in Ås was prominently featured concerning high police rental costs during party nights.

In closing, I would like to say that leading the Marketing Block and serving as the Marketing Director for the Society in Ås

has been a joy, a pleasure, and a privilege for which I am deeply grateful! Thank you for the trust given at the General Assembly, which allowed me to give something back to the Society that has given me so much.

I wish our members, volunteers, and guests a continued festive and wonderful 2025!

It has been an honor!

Sivert Aarflot, Head of Marketing for Samfunnet i Ås 2025.

The board of House and Finance is the highest authority at Studentsamfunnet i Ås between general assemblys and must work strategically to ensure a healthy and long-term management of Studentsamfunnet, its finances and real estate in accordance with the adopted strategy. Husog Finansstyret has a special responsibility for making strategic assessments, in collaboration with other boards and bodies.

So far in 2025, the Housing and Finance Board has held three regular meetings, and discussed 28 matters. We have also had two full-day seminars with the entire Office Wing.

Among the matters discussed are financial goals regarding Ringfest, and a review of the Ringfest 2025 budget. It will be exciting to introduce this as a sub-organization at the Student Union. Cooperation with the other bodies is reported to be good, and an overall long-term financial management from the Housing and Finance Board contributes to realistic goals, expectations and plans for Ringfest.

Among other things, a harmonization of social support has been considered, so that equal involvement has equal benefits regardless of which body you volunteer for. This is to ensure equal and fair management and motivation of all the good voluntary work that is done.

Economic and practical implementation of the use of the building without AudMax has also been reviewed, both at seminars and meetings. The Housing and Finance Board expects a somewhat lower return for, among others, the Community Board, but an equal degree of success. For UKA and NU as the largest sources of income, alternative solutions have been considered. This will present somewhat higher challenges with implementation, but with good planning and preparation, these can be points that develop the UKE festival and Career Day. We look forward to seeing how these challenges are solved by creative and enterprising students. With good and extra meetings to discuss finances and uncertainty, we will have good financial management and reduce risk.

Among other things, we are eagerly following the renovation of the Festsalen and Rosehagen. It is pleasing that these are finally getting a boost, as some of the oldest rooms we have in the building. It is also exciting to follow the testing of possible ticket system solutions and membership registers, as well as a new board platform. The world is being digitized, with new solutions, and we as an organization must stay updated and follow this. If you are interested in management platforms and technical system solutions for organizations, please contact us.

We have also reviewed the Fadderuka, with recruitment figures, visitor figures and finances. The

Housing and Finance Board considers this to be the most important recruitment arena we have, and has had a desire for good experience reporting. Therefore, Fadderuka is treated as a mini-festival, with its own budget and accounts. These are of course included as part of the Community Board's budget, but by treating Fadderuka as a festival, useful learning related to finances and recruitment will be easy to measure. It will be exciting to compare these results, and we hope for a good development. Finally, we would like to mention that the Housing and Finance Board has allocated 170,000,- for a new communication system for the safe running of the party. We have also allocated 200,000,- for new photo equipment and 35,000,- extra for the safe storage of this.

The storage solution will also cover some storage space problems related to the closure of AudMax.

Since the General Assembly this spring, the organization has grown significantly, and we now have nearly 100 dedicated students who are well underway with planning the best UKE in Ås of all time for autumn 2026! This also includes operational committees that are essential in ensuring good knowledge transfer and continuity within the organization.

The UKA organization is a motivated group that has now defined the goals we want to work towards in 2026. We will soon have hired actors and musicians for the UKE Revue, as well as several deputy positions and functionaries. More positions will be announced continuously leading up to autumn 2026.

In the spring, miniUKE will take place from March 4th to 8th, which we consider a fantastic opportunity to test new solutions and build experience in festival operations. The main UKE in Ås 2026 will take place from October 1st to 25th. We recommend clearing your calendar already now – this is something you don’t want to miss!

5.4 The Business Committee at NMBU

Preliminary Report – Business Committee at NMBU Fall 2025

Honorable General Assembly!

Board Fall 2025

Leader: Anna Bårdseng

Head of Administration: Markus Rasch

Head of Sponsorships: Jesper Strøm

Head of Events: Maren Nøkleby

Head of Marketing: Elena Tanbo Stene

Head of Career Day: Ingrid Turlid

Incoming Head of Career Day: Edvard Lauritz Sæthern

The Business Committee at NMBU has had an exciting spring and fall, with several interesting, educational, and new events. Most notably, we are very pleased with the successful execution of the first edition of Career Week. We’ve gotten to know the newly elected members from spring, who have seamlessly integrated into NU’s work. In addition, we’ve appointed two new Committee Heads in the Sponsorship Team. We’re looking forward to the rest of the year and already have exciting plans ahead.

Career Week Fall 2025

This fall marked the first edition of Career Week, a new project we’ve been developing for quite some time. The purpose of CW is to host one professional event each day, with the highlight being Career Day in the middle of the week. We started the week with a Kick-off featuring Anniken Engelsen and continued Tuesday with a lecture by Dag Otto Lauritzen. Career Day on Wednesday was organized as usual, and Thursday we held a quiz at the Student Society. On Friday, we once again hosted Career Night. We took into account the feedback from spring, and the event was well received.

Career Day

This fall’s Career Day was once again a great success. We hosted 82 companies, and there was a steady stream of students throughout the day. The event ran smoothly, and we’ve received positive feedback afterward. This edition faced some challenges related to the condition of Aud. Max, which resulted in fewer booth spaces in the foyer. We reorganized and made good use of the remaining space.

Marketing

NU works continuously to increase visibility among students. We’ve set intermediate goals along the way focused on growing our follower base and attendance at events goals we’ve achieved. Equally important to us is increasing visibility for businesses and showcasing why NMBU has the best students. We do this primarily through Career Day, company presentations, and Career Night.

Other Events and Activities

This spring, we held several great events. As usual, we hosted Ås–så videre, featuring former students. In addition, we organized a lecture on AI usage guidelines and another on salary negotiations and employment contracts.

Sponsorship Work

The Sponsorship Team works steadily to establish various collaborations with other branches of the Student Society. The contract with Tekna Samfunnet i Ås and miniUKA is under revision following collaboration meetings. The main partner for UKA i Ås is currently in discussion. Work to secure a tent partner for UKA has begun. We’ve also been working on improving the structure of our collaboration with Tuntreet

Administration

NU actively works to strengthen collaboration with the student associations at NMBU, partly to increase the visibility of relevant companies. As part of this, a seminar is organized for the associations each semester, featuring various topics and opportunities for experience sharing. The next seminar will be held in November.

There is a high level of activity on campus, with stands from various student organizations and companies, contributing to greater student engagement.

Career Fund

The Career Fund consists of 15% of the profit from Career Day, with profits from 2024 being distributed in 2025. So far this year, there have been two rounds of allocations, with a total of 250,000 NOK awarded. The final deadline for applications this year is November 20th.

The application portal, information on guidelines, and previous allocations can be found under “Career Fund” at www.nunmbu.no.

Climate

The Business Committee continuously works to reduce its own carbon footprint. Our largest sources of emissions come from food and beverages at events, posters, and clothing. These are difficult to reduce, but we continue our efforts through careful planning and greater focus on digital marketing.

NMBU

5.5 Tuntreet

Honorable General Assembly!

Tuntréet is now in its 79th year, and this autumn’s student newspaper production has exceeded all expectations. A steady publishing rhythm combined with regular social gatherings within the editorial team makes Tuntréet a truly vibrant newsroom.

Ansvarlige i Tuntreet høsten 2025:

● Editor-In-Chief: Henrik Bakken

● Managing Editor: Hanna Lindeman

● Editorial Assitant: Mina Sofie Haustveit

● Head of Photography: William Fredrik Bakke Dahl

● Head of Layout: Lars-Børge Waag Strømswik

● Head of Translation: Henrikke Emilia Ellewsen

● Head of Proofreading: Ida Terese Ueland

● Head of Web: Jakob Sørhus

The Editorial Team

This fall we carried out a large recruitment process. The interest in joining Tuntréet has been high, so filling all the positions went smoothly. The editorial team now consists of 45 contracted members, including committee members, committee leaders, and editors. In addition, there are several freelancers, bringing the total number of contributors to 55. These are divided into eight committees: journalism, photo, layout, proofreading, illustration, distribution, podcast, and translation. The podcast committee is new this semester, reviving Tuntréet’s old podcast tradition. The committee is still young, but so far, we are very pleased with the energy and value it adds to the newsroom.

Economy, Sustainability, and Circulation

Tuntréet publishes ten issues per year, with a print run of 950 copies per issue 800 in Norwegian and 150 in English. All issues are also published as PDFs on our website, tuntreet.org, and individual articles are released as web stories that are widely shared on social media. Due to fluctuating demand for the print edition, circulation varies somewhat throughout the semester. As Tuntréet is a free newspaper, our only indicator of demand is how many copies remain on the stands. This approach helps reduce both climate impact and printing costs.

Tuntréet has two sources of income: the largest being funding from NMBU, followed by advertising sales. Advertising sales have been strong, but the most important work done in

this area has been organizing and standardizing procedures that were previously inconsistent, as well as coordinating with other student organizations.

In the past six months, Tuntréet has also worked to reduce printing costs. After a round of bids, we succeeded in lowering costs to a level we are satisfied with while keeping the same printing supplier as before.

Although the return requirement from HF remains zero, Tuntréet wishes to have greater freedom to support both social and professional development, such as pre-parties, cabin trips, Christmas dinners, and lectures.

A Big Thank You

Without an absolutely amazing editorial team, we would never have been able to publish such a rich and varied 52-page newspaper every three weeks. It has been truly impressive to see so many talented and creative individuals express student stories through both writing and visual work.

Each member’s ability to use their personal skills to tell a shared story together with the rest of the team has been inspiring to witness.

It has also been wonderful to be part of Tuntréet’s social life with our traditional publishing-day waffles, cabin trips, pre-parties, and our own Oscars night just a few examples of the community we’ve kept alive this year.

A huge thank you to the editorial team, the other organizations in the building, all our readers, and especially my co-editors Marie and Hanna for a fantastic year. My time as editor is coming to an end, but I am completely confident that the road ahead with Hanna and a new editor in charge will be excellent. I am very excited to follow what comes next!

On behalf of Tuntréet, Henrik Bakken Editor-in-Chief, Autumn 2025

Case 6 Strategy for Studentsamfunnet i Ås

6.a Approval of the Work Program for 2026

The Studentsamfunnet i Ås Work Programme is a short-term action plan based on the longterm strategy adopted at the General Assembly in autumn 2024. The Work Programme is revised annually and serves to provide a concrete direction for the priorities to be made in the coming year.

The proposed Work Programme for 2026 has been developed on the basis of the long-term strategy adopted in autumn 2022. The Work Programme functions as a tool to ensure that the organisation and operations of the Studentsamfunnet are in line with the adopted longterm goals.

● Goals achieved during 2025 that do not require further follow-up have been removed from the Work Programme, and is markeds with purple.

● Goals that have been achieved but are still considered relevant have been revised and carried forward into the Work Programme for 2026, and is marked yellow.

● New goals that the Studentsamfunnet aims to achieve during 2026 have been added, and is marked green.

See Appendix 1 for the Studentsamfunnet Work Programme for 2026, and Appendix 2 for the Work Programme for 2025.

Proposed resolution:

Thegeneral assembly accept the Work Programme for 2026

Case 7 Approval of budgets for Studentsamfunnet i Ås for next year

Short on the return requirements in the budget

The board of House and Finance (HF) sets annual return requirements for the boards of Studentsamfunnet This is one of the tasks of HF, cf. the articles of association § 4.1.4. The required rate of return is set as a percentage and says what percentage of turnover the individual board of directors will leave as a profit at the end of the year.

In addition to the return requirements, the budgets of the individual boards are also submitted to HF for approval before being sent to GA.

Proposed resolution:

Case 8 Cases submitted in accordance with applicable deadlines

Case 8.1 Change in Articles of Association

Proposed Amendment to §1.2.1 Ordinary Members – Sent in by The Samfunnet Board

Background

As the current bylaws are written, the duration of membership options is predefined. At present, there is no option for a two-year membership. Many students come to NMBU to complete a twoyear master’s degree, and they often feel excluded from our membership structure. A master’s degree typically lasts two years, and it is unfortunate that we cannot offer these students a more affordable option through a two-year membership.

It is therefore proposed that the text specifying the membership durations be removed and replaced with:

“Ordinary members may purchase a membership within the framework set by the Samfunn Board and pay the corresponding fee.”

The Samfunn Board will then add the option of a two-year membership. This change would also give all other students the opportunity to choose a two-year membership. The amendment would allow for more flexibility in membership duration, enabling it to better reflect students’ needs.

The Samfunn Board wishes to continue offering the current membership durations but also include a two-year option. Two versions of a proposed amendment are presented below. In Proposal 1, the Samfunn Board is given the authority to set membership duration, reducing the need for bylawregulated durations. In Proposal 2, the option for a two-year membership is added directly to the bylaws.

Proposed Changes to §1.2.1 Members (Proposal 1)

Anyone studying at NMBU has the right to become a member of Studentsamfunnet in Ås. Persons otherwise affiliated with NMBU or Studentsamfunnet in Ås may be granted membership by the Board of Samfunnet.

Ordinary members have membership for one, three or five academic years at a time, paying the corresponding membership fee. may purchase a membership within the framework set by the Samfunn Board and pay the corresponding fee The membership period is valid from august to june. One academic year is defined as the period from August through June.

Ordinary members have the right to speak, propose, and vote at the Student Society’s General Assembly.

Proposal 2:

Anyone studying at NMBU has the right to become a member of the Student Society in Ås. Persons otherwise affiliated with NMBU or the Student Society in Ås may be granted membership by the Samfunn Board.

Ordinary members have membership for one, three or five academic years at a time, paying the corresponding membership fee. may purchase a membership for one, two, three, five, or six academic years and pay the corresponding fee. One academic year is defined as the period from August through June.

Ordinary members may purchase a membership for one, two, three, five, or six academic years and pay the corresponding fee. One academic year is defined as the period from August through June.

Ordinary members have the right to speak, propose, and vote at the Student Society’s General Assembly.

The Board of House and Finance`s view: The board supports the proposal

Case 8.1b Change in Articles of Association §3.4

to change §3.4 Agenda for GA – Sent in by the Board of House and Finance

Background:

In the spring of 2020, the House and Finance Board changed its composition to consist of five external members and five student members. Four of the students are elected leaders of their respective bodies, and the fifth student is elected directly at the spring General Assembly. Each autumn, two external representatives are elected for four terms, and every other autumn the board appoints one representative for four terms.

This arrangement has now been in operation for nearly five years. However, during the board changes that have taken place in recent years, some challenges have emerged. Every other autumn General Assembly, the board must appoint a representative, which needs to be done prior to the General Assembly. At the same time, it is uncertain what the board’s composition will be for the following two years, as two other external representatives must either be re-elected or replaced.

Proposal

Therefore, the House and Finance Board finds it beneficial to adjust the election procedures in order to create a more predictable board composition and to be able to appoint external representatives that better meet the board’s competence needs. The proposal is following:

1. Move the appointment of the external representative to the spring semester.
