Team & Members

We are SSA: Students for Sustainable Action! We are student driven and based in Jönköping, Sweden. We are constantly working to make student life, the campus and our learning activities more sustainable. 🌏 It is important to us that everyone who wants to be part of the association can contribute what they want and what their main topics are. However, in order for SSA to operate in the long term and continuously, a few administrative and organizational roles are required. For this purpose, there is the SSA Board and the Project Leaders of the various projects that exist under SSA. 🌱

The Board: Elected in Spring 2024

Nathalie Schroeder, President

Course: Sustainable Communication, HLK

Why am I a part of SSA: Since I got to Jönköping, I’ve been surrounded by people who believe in me and the visions I have for a better future. That motivated me to challenge myself and take on tasks bigger than those that I’m used to, which is why I am currently President of SSA. I am excited to be part of such a strong community of like-minded people and the actions we stand for.

Shivani López Wadke, Vice President

Course: Master in Global Studies: Sustainable Societies and Social Change

Why am I a part of SSA: I joined SSA because I wanted to be in a community of like-minded people who shared values, concerns and hope. But also because I wanted to contribute to the betterment of the community and create positive impact. We can’t afford not-caring anymore!

Lara Lambrich, Communications Manager

Course: Sustainable Communication, HLK

Why am I a part of SSA: Since I’ve been in Sweden, I’ve realized much more than before that change is much better achieved through positivity than through negative feelings, such as climate anxiety. SSA offers me the right setting to achieve that and at the same time I am surrounded by people who feel just like me.

Jenny Klenk, Operations Manager

Course: Global Studies: Sustainable Societies and Social Change (Master program), HLK
