Minion weeks

Congratulations on securing a place in one of SLU's fantastic programmes! 

My name is Elvira Schackenborg Gudmundsson, and I am the Chief Buddy (Hufvudfadder) for the Ultuna Student Union. Together with our amazing class buddies, I would like to warmly welcome you to SLU and the beautiful Ultuna Campus.

During your first two weeks at Ultuna, we buddies will be here to help you get the best possible start to your student life. The Minion Weeks are packed with fun and memorable activities, giving you the chance to get to know Uppsala, the Ultuna Campus, and your new classmates.

All activities are completely voluntary, and we would also like to emphasize that this applies to alcohol consumption as well. If you have any questions or concerns, big or small, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us. You will find my contact details, as well as those of your programme's class buddy, below. 

We look forward to welcoming you and hope you have two magical weeks as a new student at SLU! 

Warm regards, 
Your Chief Buddy, Elvira Schackenborg Gudmundsson

If there's any studying literature you should be reading, it's this! ^

During the Minion Weeks, there's a lot going on and it may feel difficult to keep track of all places, times, activities and who to ask about what. To make it easier for you, we have put together a compendium! All you need to know about us and campus. Småttinghäftet 2026 will be published soon.

In Småttinghäftet you will also find a schedule of all activities.
