1. USING THE EVENT CALENDAR ON AYY.FI
The communications sector of the Student Union has received many inquiries about using the event calendar on ayy.fi. The event calendar is published on the right side of the front page of ayy.fi and it always shows 10 latest events. Each association can, and each association also should, add their events to the calendar after receiving the user name for ayy.fi. Events from the event calendar are automatically added to the newsletter on that week. You can inquire the user name from AYY’s Web Developer Rekik Haile (rekik.haile@ayy.fi)
2. AALTO UNIVERSITY’S DECISION ON SPONSORING STUDENT ASSOCIATIONS
Aalto University’s President Tuula Teeri has made a decision on sponsoring student associations. Aalto University will sponsor only the events which concern the whole university or the student union. Universities are responsible for sponsoring school-specific events. Sponsoring for the schools in the field of technology is coordinated by Mauri Airila through TKK’s support foundation. Deans coordinate sponsoring in the other schools. The decision is also available on

The greatest Dipoli party of the year – Lakinlaskijaiset – will shake the ground of Otaniemi again on 30 Sept! This year, Klamydia and Aikakone entertain the crowd on the Main Stage and Dipoli offers everything from karaoke to dancing on the tables. The biggest party of the Student Union does not leave you cold, whether or not you happen to own the tassel cap of technology students! In honour of Friday, the party will continue until 3am and extra buses run from Otaniemi to the city centre.
Tickets sales will begin at Alvari lobby at 10am on 19 Sept! More specific information is available at ayy.fi, Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=274189232594877) and from 5 Sept onwards at www.lakinlaskijaiset.fi. The age limit to the event is 18 years.
4. WORK AT LAKINLASKIJAISET PARTY?
In order to succeed, the biggest Dipoli party of the year needs dozens of helpful hands. There are tasks for every taste ranging from security duties to carrying equipment and from decoration to ticket sales.
In return, you will get a free entrance to the party, overall badge, opportunity to get the pink ribbon of the party committee and access to the after party arranged for the employees. In October, all employees can also participate in the legendary finishing party.

5. ARE YOU INTERESTED IN ALUMNI ACTIVITIES?
Dear student – a future alumna! Would you like to network and work together with the graduates, the alumni? Are you interested in their career stories and working life experience? What else could the university’s alumni relations mean to you? After the summer, we have focused on Aalto University’s alumni relations and we want to develop our activities and services and make them even better.
Therefore, we have created a survey related to our operations and we hope that you will respond to it. Please tell us how we have succeeded in our work so far and what do you expect from us as a student. It takes approx. 5-10 minutes to respond to the survey. Please send your feedback by 15 September. We are glad to answer additional questions at: alumni@aalto.fi 4.
