1. AYY’S ASSOCIATION GUIDE TO BE COMPLETED AT THE END OF THE YEAR
The Student Union’s organisational sector is currently working on the association guide directed to associations and communities operating within AYY. The purpose of the guide is to facilitate the application process of association grants, the establishment of operations and networking. The guide will at least cover the writing of the minutes, the Associations Act, the establishment of a new association, rule issues, premises issues, counselling services and archiving. We aim to publish the guide in late autumn both in electronic and printed versions.
Do you have ideas about issues that should be covered in the guide? Even surprising suggestions and ideas are greatly appreciated. Please send us feedback: jarjestoasiat@ayy.fi.
2. APPLY FOR THE POSITION OF ELECTION OFFICER IN AYY’S REPRESENTATIVE COUNCIL ELECTIONS
AYY is looking for election officers to conduct the ballot elections of the Representative Council Elections on Wed, 2 Nov, 10am–4pm, on six polling stations (Arabia, Otaniemi, Töölö, Lahti, Mikkeli and Pori). The duties of the election committee include, among other things, the conduction of the elections and the vote count after the election process is completed.
We primarily take into consideration the applicants who have previously acted as election officers but other applicants also have an excellent chance to be selected. The committee members receive a lump sum of €100 (€150 to chairpersons).
Please apply no later than Fri, 7 Oct! See the application instructions: /vaalit/.
3. NYYTI’S SURVEY FOR NEW STUDENTS
Students’ Support Centre Nyyti has published a survey for new students on its website. Nyyti uses the survey to chart students’ experiences from the academic world and their adaptation to it. We hope that you will pass the message forward to new students, in particular. With this survey, Nyyti collects important information about how the new students find their own place in the student life.
The survey is available at https://digiumenterprise.com/answer/?sid=697621&chk=X4HY7UW4
4. SATISFACTION SURVEY OF AALTO UNIVERSITY REAL ESTATES
Let your voice be heard and tell us what you think about Aalto University’s facilities and the campus area! In the best case, you can also benefit – JOPO bicycle (value 373e) and iPad (value 597e) will be drawn among all respondents. The draw date is 17 October.
The survey is available at: www.tutkimus.net/aalto2011. You can respond to the survey until 3 Oct 2011.
5. TEEKKARI SONG CONTEST IS APPROACHING, ARE YOU READY?
Teekkari song contest is declared open. The lukkari committee welcomes everyone to participate! During the tradition week of technology students, the contest will climax with the finals and the song sauna where competition songs will be presented to the distinguished panel of judges and the sauna audience on 3 Nov 2011, 6pm-8pm.
The song contest includes two categories:
1. Completely new songs which have not been performed yet (directional and a completely optional theme is wine and the good old times)
2. New songs written this year and already performed at a party or other singing event
In addition to the fame and glory, the winners in both categories get their song added to the song book of teekkari tradition party (and it will be sung in the tradition party). And that’s not all. The winners will also receive a surprise prize! Songs must be submitted to lutku@list.ayy.fi by 11.55pm on 30 Oct. Please include your name (or names if several writers), contact information, the category, the name of the song and lyrics.
Get creative and participate!
