About Us

President

Sofia Rosetti

“Hi! My name is Sofia Rosetti, and I am currently a PPE student at Utrecht University. I come from a very small town in the centre of Italy, which is why what I love most about Utrecht is the possibility it gives me daily to meet people from around the world. I am really excited to be the next President of CS Ubuntu for the upcoming year and make new experiences with the future board and all those who will decide to join our association. I have several different interests, but I would say that I am mostly passionate about politics and its social and economic implications. I think that raising awareness of ongoing conflicts and human rights is fundamental, considering what is happening in the world, and I hope we will be able to do it together while also creating a sense of community.”
