2. Work at Gravitation party!
Gravitation party is here again. In order for us to organise the party, we need plenty of lovely people to work!
This year, Gravitation will be organised on 8 March at The Circus and the performers include Goon and Jenni Vartiainen.
We are now looking for ticket sellers and a few van drivers and people in charge of catering.
People in charge of catering are responsible for providing food for the bands and the employees at the party. Van drivers will drive the van and help to carry equipment from Otaniemi to Circus and back. Van drivers work in two shifts so the same people do not have to spend the whole day and night driving around. Ticket sellers must sell tickets for one hour on the party day either at Ullis or Circus or they can have two two-hour shifts in the week preceding the party. The more specific working hours are agreed on when we find the employees.
More specific information on the event: https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=109528735790839&ref=ts
If you are interested in one of these duties, please contact Lakinlaskijaiset Director Anu Juvonen (anu.juvonen@ayy.fi) or May Day Director Lauri Ikonen (lauri.ikonen@ayy.fi). The same people are glad to answer any questions you might have.
In return, you will get a free entrance to the party, an overall badge and an entrance to the party arranged for employees. In addition, you have the opportunity to get the desired pink ribbon of the party committee, the precondition for the ribbon is to work in two parties.
3. Aalto University’s snow golf event on 6 March
Aalto University’s personnel challenges the students to a unique experience beyond compare – the snow golf event at Jämi field on Sunday, 6 March.
Two 9-hole rounds are played in the event. In the field, there is a rest stop between the lanes 2 and 3 and the lanes 8 and 9 where we take a break and enjoy refreshments. The form of golf will be determined according to the number of registered players. There are no handicap requirements. You will use all components of golf from driving to putting and need all the necessary equipment. Choose clothing depending on the weather.
First 18 members of the personnel and 18 student representatives to sign up can take part in the game. The participation fee is €15 which includes the game fee, 3 orange winter balls, refreshments and prizes.

5. Looking for harbingers for the promotion ceremony of the School of Economics
The students of economics! The 14th promotion ceremony of the Aalto University School of Economics will be arranged on 19–21 May. The promotion ceremony is a festive ending of university studies where the graduating masters and doctors receive their academic honours. The celebrations start on 19 May and continue with the promotion ceremony and dinner on 20 May. The promotion ceremony will end with a herring lunch on 21 May. Traditionally, the students of economics participate in the promotion ceremony as harbingers. They assist the officiants of the promotion ceremony so that the ceremony will be as elegant as possible. The harbingers are led by the chief harbinger who is Professor Matti Liski in the promotion ceremony of 2011. Working as a harbinger is a unique opportunity to get to know the oldest academic tradition already before your graduation. The harbingers are welcome to participate in the herring lunch which will finish the promotion ceremony and which is organised in restaurant Pörssi at 12noon on 21 May.
Inquiries concerning the duty and registrations can be addressed to Project Planner Jenni Kuusivuori (jenni.kuusivuori (at) hse.fi) at the promotion office. The address www.hse.fi/promootio has extensive information on the promotion celebration and the promotion tradition.
