1. THE MODEL RULES OF THE STUDENT UNION ARE COMPLETED

When an association or a club registers itself through the National Board of Patents and Registration of Finland it has to make official rules for itself. The Student Union has completed the so-called model rules which help the work of those clubs and associations which are planning to become registered associations. The existing register associations should occasionally remember to read their own rules and make updates if necessary.

The brand new model rules are available in the PDF form at: http://www.ayy.fi/sites/default/files/mallisaannot.pdf

2. SAARA HYRKKÖ TO FORM THE AYY BOARD FOR THE YEAR OF 2011

In the meeting on 10 November, AYY’s Representative Council appointed the 23-year-old student of Bioinformation Technology Saara Hyrkkö as the former of the AYY Board 2011. Saara has operated in the AYY Board 2010 where she was responsible for the Aalto Community as well as cultural and organisational affairs.

During the workshop week, students are led by the fellow students to explore the various forms of arts and high culture in which the students of our university engage. This is organised through the theme days and each workshop is organised according to the theme. The topics of this year include wine and food, drama and dance as well as film and painting, among other things. The workshops are open to all members of the Aalto community.
