AASTU STUDENTS UNION OFFICIAL

Dear AASTU Family, After 2 years and 3 months, my time serving as your Students’ Union President has officially come to an end. Representing, listening to, and uniting over 7,000+ students from every corner of our country and every background was a massive responsibility. It was never easy, but I held nothing back giving my full time, energy, and heart to serve you all. During our time together, we focused on what mattered most to student life: ⚽ Sports, Culture & Clubs: Organizing major campus sports tournaments, entertainment events, and supporting clubs that help students develop practical soft skills. 🍽️ Everyday Services: Pushing for continuous improvements in cafeteria quality, campus healthcare, and student recreation. 🏛️ Strong Student Advocacy: Being your voice in university Senate meetings, shaping campus policies, and taking an active part in leadership elections for deans and directors. Heartfelt Appreciation: Dr. Solomon Tesfaye: Thank you for treating us like family. You’ve been a father, a brother, and a mentor through every challenge. The 19 Union Executives: Thank you for the sleepless nights, the tireless energy, and all the heart you put into serving our peers. AASTU Faculty & Staff: To Dr. Dereje Engida, our teachers, proctors, and campus workers—thank you for your patience, cooperation, and open doors. A huge congratulations to our incoming Union President, Yared Arega! You’ve got an exciting journey ahead, and I have full faith in what you and your new team will achieve. Remember, I am only a call away whenever you need advice or support. Thank you all for letting me serve you. It was truly an honor! 🎓❤️ Solomon Tarekegn Outgoing President
