History
History of SAMOK
The year was 1996, the day 15 June. A group of student activists had gathered in Helsinki to decide on something big. On the agenda was the founding of a union for students at universities of applied sciences.
At the founding meeting, there were three name options for the union: Suomen Ammattikorkeakoulujen Opiskelijakuntien Liitto, Suomen Ammattikorkeakoulujen Oppilaskuntien Liitto and Suomen Ammattikorkeakouluopiskelijakuntien Liitto. The abbreviation was put to a vote between two options: SAMKOL and SAMOK.
The name chosen for the union at the time was Suomen Ammattikorkeakouluopiskelijakuntien Liitto – SAMOK ry. In 1997, an extraordinary General Assembly was held, at which the name was changed, at the request of the Register of Associations, to Suomen Ammattikorkeakouluopiskelijayhdistystenliitto – SAMOK ry. The name recorded in the founding charter, Suomen Ammattikorkeakouluopiskelijakuntien Liitto – SAMOK ry, was adopted in 2008. The current name National Union of Students in Finnish Universities of Applied Sciences – SAMOK has been in use since 2013.
