We want to create a safe community, especially between the Restaurant and Tourism Management students, where everyone can feel free to be themselves.

Our values are based in the ways we operate. LaGeR ry fosters a sense of community and honesty. We all are commited to everything we do. We strive to act clearly, reliably and honestly as well as be direct in our communication. We also want to take everybody into account, understand and nurture diversity, and show compassion to those who need it.

These objectives can be achieved through closer co-operation, both through our own students and with the help of other schools. Co-operation often opens up new visions and sides that benefit everyone. With the help of others, we get new ideas for developing events, for example. We want to develop the improvements of the position and visibility of The Restaurant and Tourism Management students through more active participation in public events and by revealing who we are, where we come from, why there are  Hospitality management students in particular and why there is LaGeR ry.

We want to improve advocacy through closer cooperation with our student union, where of everyone receives a lot of help and support. To Improve lobbying, we strive to keep the threshold between us and our students low.
