About UKA i Ås


UKA i Ås is an old tradition with roots dating back to the 1890s when the first student revue was arranged at Den Høiere Landbrugsskole i Aas. UKA i Ås 2020 will be the 50th UKA arranged since 1924, which was when UKA as we know it today was organised for the first time.

UKA i Ås is arranged on a 100% voluntary basis. The UKEboard, which is elected at Studentsamfunnets general meeting every other spring, is responsible for ensuring that UKA in Ås is implemented in the best possible way. The board has committee managers and volunteers, which together consist of close to 1300 volunteers, representing more than 1/5 of the student base at Norway’s smallest university. Without such a commitment, UKA i Ås had not been what it is today. The ground pillars are voluntary work and good cooperation, which give UKA in Ås the strength it has.

With a visitor count of over 28,000, UKA i Ås is also Follo's largest cultural event. When Østlandets blad readers in 2008 were to celebrate the century's name in Follo, UKA in Ås won in front of several strong candidates.

In March 2019 a new UKEboard was elected, with Fimke Frederika Pijfers in the lead. The work on a new UKE is already underway and we are looking forward to seeing you in October 2020!

UKEboard

The work with UKA is headed by the UKEboard, which consists of seven board members with their respective responsibilities and an UKEleader.

These areas of responsibility ( or “blocks” as they are called in the UKA-language) are Revue, Marketing, Events, Economy, Serving, Sales and Administraion. The UKAboard is elected by a democratic poll of Studentsamfunnet i Ås at the general assembly the year before the UKA year. This gives the board about a year and a half to plan the next UKE.
