After nearly 5 years in the role of Secretary-General, Malin Helldorff is leaving SöderS to hand over the baton to someone else.

 – It feels entirely right for both me and for SöderS. At the same time as it feels sad and a little disheartening to leave this fantastic organisation, all the students and incredible staff, Malin says. 

Malin is working until the middle of December, and an advertisement will soon be circulated to recruit a new person for the role.

– It will be exciting to recruit a new Secretary General, even though it feels sad that Malin is leaving. She has done a fantastic job during these years and she will be missed. At the same time, I have great confidence in the recruitment process that we have just started.

Adam Hemdan, President of SöderS

As Secretary-General of SöderS serves as the Board’s secretary and acts as the link between the strategic Board and the secretariat’s operational staff. The Secretary-General, in collaboration with the Chair, forms the Board’s operational unit. They are responsible for managing SöderS’s staff, for financial administration, and for SöderS’s operations.

– It is and has been an incredibly varied job, with a range spanning from very operational, practical work to the strategic, long-term. That is one of the things that makes the work so enjoyable, Malin adds.


”What advice do you have for the person who comes after you?”
– Don't forget that the target audience is right next door. So if you get stuck on an idea, you just have to go out ten metres and ask the students who happen to be sitting there at the time, and you'll get wise answers!
