Others on Runhild
“Å sammenfatte hvor flink Runhild er i korte trekk er vanskelig, men om det er en ting man absolutt må trekke frem så er det at hun har stålkontroll på absolutt alt. Hun holder seg alltid oppdatert når det kommer til Koiene, så om du lurer på noe, uansett om det er vedtilstand, økonomi eller hvor lenge det er til neste kontrakt går ut, har Runhild alltid et svar (om ikke så tar det ikke lang tid før hun har funnet svar på det). Arbeidsviljen skal man heller ikke kimse av, å være kasserer i Koiene er ingen liten jobb, men fortsatt har hun har greid å kombinere det med både skole, verv i ØKU og utallige koieturer. Etter to år med dette er motet fortsatt stort og hun har nå tatt over som koiesjef, hvor hun gjør en fantastisk jobb og ildsjelen brenner minst like hardt om ikke mer enn tidligere!”
– John Marius, Kakesjef i Koiene

Hello Runhild! How fun you want to talk to us in Blits! Who are you exactly?
I am a student who likes to go on walks!
How did you end up at NTNUI?
Hereditary burden, as dad was very keen in the Koi when he was studying. I went on a get-to-know-you trip with the Koi, and then suddenly I was on the board as treasurer.

What position do you have? And how did you get such a position?
I am the Koie boss. It was fun being treasurer in Koiene, so I wanted to continue on the board with new challenges.
The next step in NTNUI?
Definitely the Cake Boss in Koiene.
Wow, what’s that?
Cake Boss is a board member with long experience, who makes sure that traditions, such as cake at the Koie meeting, is maintained and helps the others on the board.
If you were to change one thing in NTNUI, what would it be?
I think all the groups in NTNUI should go on a koie trip at least once a year, because it’s a lot of fun!
Why are you getting involved then?
Because it’s a lot of fun and lots of nice people, and cake at koie meetings.

What do you think about the stamp you have now received as a zealot?It’s very nice to be appreciated, but there are also many others who put in a lot of effort in NTNUI and who deserve attention!
Want to highlight someone?
No, I don’t want that. No one mentioned no one forgotten.
Who would you rather have been stuck in the lift at Sit training center with?
Who takes the lift at Sit training centre?
If you were to have created a new position in NTNUI (without having to apply yourself), what would it have been?
A welfare officer at the clubhouse who provides coffee, tea, cocoa and snacks would have been very nice.
What makes you happy in life?
Being out on a trip, preferably on a koi trip!

Which Koie is your favorite then?
Everyone has their own charm, but Kamtjønnkoia probably has the finest location.
Rowing’s tights or NTNUI’s devil’s hat?
Devil’s hat, because it is much more suitable for koie-trips travel.
You in 5 years, where will you be?
Hopefully finished studying and in work.
If you had to choose, NTNUI or love?
What about a love in NTNUI?
Where would you rather have got involved, if it had not been NTNUI?
Maybe DNT young!
